Description

1. Reduction of overall height and removal of any unsafe branches to (T1) Holm Oak which is on the northern boundary to the property, adjacent to the highway of Meadfoot Sea Road. There have been a significant number of branches that have fallen, even in only mild winds, onto cars beneath and narrowly missing pedestrians on the public pavement and highway of Meadfoot Sea Road.2. Cut down (T2) Acer Pseudoplatanus Sycamore to a height of 2m, removing all branches. The tree has grown very large and is growing dangerously on a steep, unstable bank on the Eastern boundary to the property, bordering the Hotel Balmoral and its guest car park, directly above a pedestrian walkway. Branch union is weak because of regrowth. Branches are currently touching neighboring property's wall, guttering and roof with potential to cause damage and damp. The tree was noted in 2006 to be middle aged and of general poor form as per previous application AT/2006/0102. Significant risk that it will damage the neighboring property and / or persons beneath it.As per shown on photos
