Planning Activity
- PendingP2026/2894/TREMy client would like to reduce a Sycamore (T1) by removing 4m branch length. Their reason is to maintain it's size in relation to the small garden and space it is growing in.
- PendingP2026/2713/TRET1 - Sycamore Stem diameter at 1.5m above ground level was measured as 640mm. Crown is heavily asymmetrical following the northern side overhang being completely removed by the neighbour back to the boundary line, Crown overhangs roofs to the south. The extreme asymmetry of the crown will have the effect of shifting the centre of mass away from the vertical axis of the trunk. The alteration in biomechanics caused by the action of the neighbour will have increased the probability of the tree failing during high winds and/or snow loading. Weather events such as these are more likely to occur within the next 6 months than the period since the operation was undertaken. Option 1 Fell as close as possible to ground level Apply eco plugs
- PendingP2026/2690/FULSide extension over the existing flat roof of side entrance porch, and alterations/extension at roof level to create access. Formation of roof terrace including the installation of metal safety railings.
