Proposal
Fell 2 no. multi-stemmed conifer trees. The trees are identified as T1 & T2 in the site map [sketch map 241106.jpg].Due to their proximity to the domestic Package Treatment Plant (PTP) drainage field, there is a significant risk of further root intrusion into the drainage field, which could compromise its integrity.These trees are not native English species.They are not of any landscape importance nor amenity value and have a very limited conservation or cultural benefit. The trees are of low quality and one (T1) might be supressing a Silver Birch (T3) in the neighbouring (Daisy Cottage) garden owing to its proximity.These trees are not subject to any Tree Preservation Order (TPO). The replacement of the septic tank was not optional as it was found to be non-compliant with the Environment Agency's mandatory General Binding Rules. The replacement system, a domestic PTP requires a drainage field to treat the discharge. The size and location of the drainage field is restricted by minimum distances from watercourses, buildings and other soakaways. Excavation of the drainage field to the prescribed depth revealed root intrusion by the conifer trees into the designated area.The site is well served by mature trees around all sides and in all adjoining gardens.
