Village Way, 40

Proposal:

Species and Location of Trees

T1.          A Sycamore tree approximately 15m in height, situated in the front garden to the left of the garage.  The tree is dead.

T2.          A Sycamore tree approximately 15m in height, situated in the front left-hand corner of the garden adjacent to Half Moon Lane.  The tree is a little dense and wide spreading.

Description of Approved Works

T1.          Remove and the roots grubbed out where possible.

T2.          Crown thin by 25% including the removal of dead wood and epicormic growth, 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.

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 front garden and below are the three alternative species for consideration:

Betula jacquemontii       (Silver Birch)

Paulownia tomentosa    (Foxglove tree)

Ginkgo biloba                     (Maidenhair tree)

The new tree should be planted with a stem girth of between 12-14cm at 1m above ground level and at a minimum height of 2.5m.  The tree should be planted during the next planting season between November 2021 and March 2022.
