Proposal
Removal of the rear elevation tree and crown reduction of the trees to the front.It is proposed to completely remove a Silver Birch tree as highlighted in red in the sketch plan due to structural damage to the property. The Tree is located to the rear left hand side corner of the property- immediately next to the single storey rear lean to extension. There has been recent notable structural movement within the property, including significant damage to drains and cracking to various internal walls. The tree is also causing notable damage to the garden boundary/ retaining wall as shown on the aerial photo. The tree is in close proximity to the house and is without question at least contributing to (most likely causing) the structural movement observed. In addition, it is proposed to crown the two Silver Birch trees to the front elevation (see sketch plan) and reduce by at least two metres. Although movement within the property is current less pronounced, cracking across the ceilings to both of the front road facing lower floor rooms suggests that these trees are also likely to cause more significant damage over the coming years. The engineer has not surveyed this area and this is the opinion of the Chartered Building Surveyor (applicant).
