Description

English Yew Tree - Rebalancing and thinning canopy by approximately 30% , Fell of 3 x Birch trees and replace with a more suitable tree's for a domestic garden- To support the long-term health of the Mature English Yew tree.- To protect the underground utilities, which serve the Property but also the residents of Whitegate Road.- The objective of these tree's when planned by the developer in 2000, was to provide a screen for the residents of Whitegate Road. The 60ft height of these tree's mean that they no longer provide any coverage of our property from Whitegate Road.

The excessive height of the Birch tree's are estimated by our installer to reduce the efficiency of our panels by between 15% and 25%, which equates of approx 975kwh to 1,625kwh of lost clean energy every year.- The long-term health of these tree's could be impacted based on their close proximity to each other, posing a significant safety risk, without any warning signs. A birch tree from no. 12 The Croft is located within 2 metres of one our birch trees, creating a potential risk for our neighbours which we would want to take action to avoid.- Tree's were last pruned in January 2020 - Ref: 20/0012/Tree an...
