Description

Reason for Works: The Sycamore tree has reached a size and condition that now presents concerns regarding safety, structural impact, and long‑term suitability for its location. The tree’s current growth is causing increased pressure on the surrounding area, including proximity to property boundaries and potential interference with structures and services. Due to its size and ongoing growth habit, the tree poses a foreseeable risk of branch failure, especially during adverse weather conditions. In addition, Sycamore is a vigorous species with a dense canopy and rapid regrowth, making ongoing management increasingly difficult within the confined space available. Removal is considered the most appropriate long‑term solution to prevent future safety issues and avoid repeated intervention. Proposed Works: Complete removal of the Sycamore tree to ground level. All works will be carried out in accordance with BS3998:2010 Tree Work – Recommendations, ensuring safe and controlled dismantling to protect the surrounding area. Replanting Proposal: A suitable replacement tree can be planted if required by the Local Planning Authority. Species can be discussed to ensure long‑term suitability for the site.
