Request to remove T2 Oak tree due to safety concerns from falling branches, posing risks to residents and property. The tree is less than 10m from houses 37 & 35. Applicant proposes to replace it with a suitable alternative species.

Full Proposal

T2 Oak - Formally request permission for the removal. The tree in question has become a significant safety concern, with large branches regularly detaching and falling to the ground. This has occurred multiple times over the past few years, including during moderate weather conditions. These falling branches pose a serious risk to the safety of nearby residents, visitors, and pets, as well as to property. Ongoing Risk to Public Safety: Repeated limb loss and structural concerns strongly indicate that the tree may be in decline or structurally compromised. This is not only hazardous to individuals but also exposes property to potential damage. Proximity to Structures: The tree is located less than 10m from houses 37 & 35 increasing the likelihood of harm in the event of branch or tree failure. Proposed Mitigation: I am willing to replace the tree with a suitable alternative species elsewhere on the property, contributing positively to the local environment in line with council policy.
