Allen Park, 33A

Proposal:

Species and Location of Trees

 

T1.          An Oak tree approximately 12m in height, situated close to the front left-hand corner of the house.  The tree is too large for its location close to the house.

 

T2.          A multi-stemmed Contorted Willow tree approximately 15m in height, situated on the left-hand side boundary towards the bottom of the rear garden.  The tree is a little dense and wide spreading.

Description of Approved Works

T1.          Remove and the roots grubbed out.

T2.          Crown thin by 25% including the removal of dead wood and necessary re-shaping to provide a more balanced specimen.  The height and basic shape should be retained. It is important to prune branches at convenient growth points, rather than an all-round reduction or pollarding which is not permitted.

Details of Replacement Required

As a condition of the removal of (T1) above, a replacement tree is to be planted in a suitable location of the rear garden and below are the three alternative species for consideration:

Acer griseum                                      (Paperbark Maple)

Laburnum x vossii                            (Golden Chain)

Crataegus ‘Paul’s Scarlet’              (Crimson May)

The new tree should be planted during the November 2022 and March 2023 planting season with a stem girth of between 14-16cm at 1m above ground level and at a minimum height of 3m.

Status:

Approved
