Proposal
FRONT: ONE mature Prunus laurocerasus (common laurel) (T1)(ht.7m) FELL including grinding out the stump to prevent regrowth. Reason: is excessively large, severely restricting daylight to the flat & obscuring the front elevation of the property, removal will benefit growth of T2 which is being retained. Proposed replanting with ornamental pear tree (Pyrus calleryana) in the front garden to maintain greenery, support biodiversity, and provide seasonal interest, while allowing improved light levels and natural surveillance of the property.Note: FRONT: ONE Elaeagnus × ebbingei (Ebbinge's silverberry)(T2)(ht.5.5m) RETAINED, no works proposed. Reason: this tree will be retained as it is an attractive specimen with a higher, more open crown and contributes positively to the character of the property and conservation area.Informative A: huge thank you for retaining a vegetated front garden for amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change. Informative B: thank you also for the proposed replacement tree (Pyrus calleryana) ? other suitable trees are such as crab apple, quince (Cydonia oblonga), common pear (Pyrus communis), medlar, elder, hazel, Laburnum, holly, Magnolia.
