Description:
AS DISCUSSED WITH BRECKLAND TREE OFFICER ON 11/10/19, WE WANT TO CARRY OUT STANDARD PRUNING TO LIME TREE 'T1' OF GROUPING G1 OF AREA A1 OF TREE PRESERVATION ORDER 1973 NO, 1, AS REFERENCED 03/54/TPO/1973/1 AND LATTERLY 03/54/TPO/2005/20.; BRECKLAND TREE OFFICER LOCATED THIS TREE OVER THE TELEPHONE, AND IT IS GIVEN ON THE TPO MAP ACCOMPANYING THE ABOVE REFERENCE NUMBERS. ; THE TPO (ARTICLE 4 . SCHEDULE 1) GIVES A SITUATION / NATIONAL GRID REFERENCE OF 58875/31778. ; DUE TO ALL THIS BRECKLAND TPO LOCATION INFORMATION, AS EASILY FOUND OVER THE TELEPHONE BY THE BRECKLAND TREE OFFICER, THEREFORE A SKETCH WILL BE NOT BE PROVIDED AS IT WILL NOT BE AS ACCURATE AS THE COUNCIL TPO OFFICIAL MAP AND GRID CO-ORDINATES. I HAVE SCANNED A COPY OF THE TPO MAP AND ATTACHED AS REQUESTED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU REQUIRE FURTHER GUIDANCE AS TO LOCATION.; IN GENERAL THIS IS IN THE REAR GARDEN OF BIRCH HOUSE,NORTH WEST CORNER, BACKING ONTO THE MILEHAM ROAD - PLEASE SEE THE TPO MAP AS GIVEN :- THE NORFOLK (BRECKLAND DISTRICT) ( LITCHAM) TREE PRESERVATION ORDER 2005 NO. 20. ; ; THE REASONS FOR THIS REQUEST ARE THAT THE TREE HAS NOT BEEN PRUNED / TRIMMED FOR AROUND 15 20 YEARS. THERE ARE BRANCHES OVERGROWING THE MILEHAM ROAD, WHICH MAY PRESENT A HAZZARD TO TRAFFIC. THERE AR DEAD WOOD BRANCHES WITHIN THE TREE WHICH PRESENT A DANGER TO PEOPLE BELOW (GARDEN AND ON MILEHAM ROAD) AND THEY DO NOT HELP PROMOTE HEALTHY GROWTH / REGENERATION. REDUCES CHANCE OF TREE BLOWING OVER IN WINTER STORMS. WE WANT TO MAINTAIN THE TREE IN A HEALTHY CONDITION (AS PER OUR OTHER TREES), FOR THE FUTURE.; ; THE TREE WAS PREVIOUSLY POLLARDED AND IT HAS BEEN PROPOSED TO REDUCE BACK TO THIS LEVEL, OR WHATEVER THE TREE OFFICER SUGGESTS - THIS IS APPROX 14 METRES HIGH FROM GROUND LEVEL, REDUCTION OF SOME 5 METRES. THE CANOPY / CROWN WILL BE THINNED AND REDUCED BACK AS PER STANDARD ABORICULTURIST BEST PRACTICES / PROCEDURES AND AS PER BRECKLAND TREE OFFICERS ' RECCOMENDATIONS. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL QUOTES AND HAVE BEEN INFORMED THIS IS UP TO A 30% REDUCTION.
