Description

T1: Spruce: Fell to ground level.The tree stands within approximately 3 metres of my property, growing from a raised rockery structure which does not provide a suitable long-term rooting environment for a tree of its current size and expected future growth.The spruce has now outgrown its constrained location, and its proximity to the property presents an increasing risk of structural pressure on the rockery and adjacent hard surfaces. A similar spruce in an adjoining garden failed during storm conditions last year, demonstrating that mature specimens of this species in this immediate area may be vulnerable due to restricted rooting depths and local exposure.Replacement planting can be provided where required, using appropriate species that will maintain local amenity without causing future conflicts.The removal of these trees is therefore based on safety considerations, site constraints, and practical arboricultural management, rather than any desire to alter the character of the wider greenbelt area. Replacement planting can be provided if required by the Local Planning Authority, and species can be selected to ensure long-term suitability and to maintain local amenity value.
