Application Details
Description

FRONT: ONE Silver birch (T1)(ht.15m) Fell. Reason: tree root system causing damage to nearby structure (garage/mezzanine flat, The Old Knoll), damage worsening to point that tree removal is necessary to avoid further damage.Informative A: as the front birch contributes to streetscape amenity, retention is encouraged as the apparently small cracks in the adjacent garage mezzanine flat may be due to other factors such as the extensive basement excavations at 2 Oakcroft Road (ref DC/16/099535) and the depth of the garage's foundations. Informative B: should the tree be felled a replacement frontage tree is encouraged, species such as crab apple, Gleditsia, mulberry, Laburnum, hazel, elder. Informative C: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
