Description

REAR: ONE Maple (T6)(approx.ht.12m) FELL.REAR: ONE: Rowan (T7)(ht.4m) CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 1.5m from 4m to ht.2.5m, REDUCE SPREAD by 1.5m from 3.5m to 2m.REAR: ONE Rowan (T8)(approx.ht.6m) FELL. REASON: subsidence at adjacent property no.42, which has shallow rear foundations depth 0.6m, roots below foundations identified as Pomoidaceae includes apple, hawthorn, rowan, whitebeam (but not maple), soil not desiccated.Informative A: removal of maple T6 is questioned when no Acer roots were found in root analysis in either TP/BH1 or TP/BH2, soil is not desiccated in either TP/BH and no drains report. Soil plasticity (volume change potential) is low to intermediate. Informative B: As foundations are shallow at 0.6m an engineering solution is encouraged for long term stabilisation of no.42 and tree retention, such as underpinning or flexible, copper impregnated root barrier. Informative C: replacement tree planting is encouraged especially in view of the goodwill financial contribution from environmental services to replace lost trees, wildlife habitat and biodiversity, suggest replacement tree and hedge planting with NHBC low water demand species such as: holly, hazel, elder, fig, Gleditsia, laburnum, magnolia, mulberry, birch. Informative D: thank you for retaining other trees for amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change. Informative E: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
