- Description:
- Please can the Council treat this application under the 5 day notice protocols. T1 Horse Chestnut - Proposed removal of tree to ground level. T1 is a mature tree of reasonable proportions though the tree notably competing with a more dominant adjacent Sycamore. The reason for tree removal is the tree is infected by Bleeding Canker of Chestnut with extensive upper crown dieback present as evidenced by reduced leaf size and density, the presence of dead wood, dysfunctional cambium. Gummy exudations are also present to the main stem. The advanced stage of the infection in the upper crown will increasingly compromise the structural stability of the crown leaving it susceptible to breakage. The presence of a neighbouring Sycamore is such that it will rapidly colonise the space vacated by T1 and as such will limit the choice to shade tolerant or typical woodland edge types. It is therefore proposed too plant a replacement Rowan (Sorbus aucuparia) within a maximum of 2 metres of T1. The replacement tree shall be light standard 6-8 cm girth, suitably staked with the addition of rubber tree ties and spacers.

- Description:
- Proposed removal of Sycamore T1.Consent is sort to remove the Sycamore T1 for reasons of good husbandry. This particular tree whilst appearing to be growing well stands within 4.2 metres of a much more aesthetically pleasing Turkey Oak T2. The close proximity of the 2 trees is resulting in neither tree achieving there optimum form. More particularly the competing needs of both trees are resulting in the Turkey Oak developing a pronounced and disproportionate easterly extending crown bias above our dwelling. The intention is to prevent the apparent imbalance from escalating to a point where the Turkey Oak becomes a misfit tree in terms of its appearance. Also if the Turkey Oak T2 continues to develop an elliptical biased heavily over the dwelling the consequences of any limb failure above the patio, rear elevation and roof line would have serious consequences. Removal of the Sycamore T1 would enable the suppressed and deficient westerly extending canopy Turkey Oak T2 to extend into the space vacated by T1, ensuring an increasingly balanced form of tree more pleasing to the eye and able to withstand the extremes of weather.In view of the above it is considered reasonable to enhance the prospects of the Turkey Oak T2 by removing the Sycamore T1. My garden is blessed with an array of mature trees such that the removal of T1 will barely be noticed from both The Russets and The Spinney being tucked behind our dwelling, T2 and the various trees occupying the rear garden. With regard to replacing the Sycamore tree T1 the garden has abundant tree cover and I see little benefit in replacing it. However if a replacement tree is necessary I suggest planting a Mountain Ash close to the location of T1 since this species is a typical woodland tree that will grow beneath the developing canopy and shade of the Turkey Oak T2 without competing with it.
