College Road, 41

Proposal:

Species and Location of Trees

T4.         A Lime tree twin stemmed from approximately 3m and approximately 15m in height, situated in the rear garden.  The tree is dead.

T13.       A Whitebeam tree approximately 15m in height, situated to the rear of 3 Allison Grove.

T16.       A Eucalyptus tree approximately 15m in height, situated to the rear of 3 Allison Grove.  The tree is leaning to the left.

T19.       A reasonably mature Eucalyptus tree approximately 15m in height, situated to the rear of 5 Allison Grove.

T23.       A False Acacia approximately 12m in height, situated between nos. 23 & 24 Allison Grove.

Boundary with the South Circular

Two Lime trees, approximately 6m and 9m in height respectively.  The trees are dead.

Description of Approved Works

T4.         Remove by felling at ground level.

T13.       No work is necessary apart from the removal of one low branch.

T16.       Crown thin by up to 20% by pruning on the leaning side in order to redress the balance, including the removal of dead wood and necessary re-shaping.  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.

T19.       Crown thin by up to 20% including the removal of dead wood and necessary re-shaping.  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.

T23.       There is a little dead wood within the canopy which should be removed.  The height and basic shape should be retained.

 Boundary with the South Circular

Fell at ground level.

Details of Replacement Required

As a condition of the removals of the Lime trees above, two replacement trees are to be planted in nearby locations close to the boundary with the South Circular and below are the three alternative species for consideration:

Fagus sylvatica                 (Beech)

Carpinus betulus             (Hornbeam)

Castanea sativa               (Sweet Chestnut)

The trees should be planted with a stem girth of between 18-20cm at 1m above ground level and at a minimum height of 4m.          

Status:
