Planning Activity
- PendingAT/2026/02661x Willow Tree - Sectionally dismantle and fell the tree to leave a finished standing stem height of approximately 1.5 m above ground level.
- ApprovedAT/2026/01485 Day Notice T1 - Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris) - Fell to ground level. Entirely dead. Dead crown, no live foliage and clear evidence of total physiological failure. Retain the stump. No stump grinding as this would risk damaging the roots of neighbouring Scots Pines of the same species.
- ApprovedAT/2026/0090We intend to prune our Mimosa Tree at the front of the property to keep it well maintained and prevent it from protruding significantly into the Highway. This also obstructs visibility for those using the courtyard which is a safety concern. Please see image of tree and location plan. NB: Tree is the larger of the two canopies depicted in the front garden on the plans (SE corner). The proposed works consist of a selective crown reduction to the outer extremities of the canopy. It is intended to reduce the length of the overextended branches to approx 1.5-2m from the branch tips equating to an overall reduction of no more than 20-30% of the crown volume.
