Peckarmans Wood, 15

Proposal:

Species and Location of Trees

T1.          A Silver Birch tree approximately 10m in height, situated on the bottom boundary of the rear garden.  There is a split in the trunk at the base which could render the tree to be unstable.

 

T2.          An Ash tree approximately 18m in height, situated on the left-hand side boundary of the front garden close to the road.  The tree is a little dense and wide spreading.

Description of Approved Works

T1.          Remove by felling at ground level.

T2.          Crown thin by approximately 20% including the removal of dead wood and epicormic growth, lifting of low branches, and the necessary shaping of the tree, ensuring the height and basic shape is 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 the above, a replacement tree is to be planted in a convenient location of the rear garden and below are the three alternative species for consideration:

Betual jacquemontii       (Silver Birch)

Sorbus aucuparia              (Rowan)

Davidia involucrata          (Pocket Handkerchief tree)

The new tree should be planted during the November 2023 and March 2024 planting season with a stem girth of between 14-16cm at 1m above ground level and at a minimum, height of 3m.

Status:

Approved
