Reference 23/00878/TPO
Application Received Wed 14 Jun 2023
Application Validated Thu 06 Jul 2023
Address 10 Chelwood Grove Plymouth PL7 2AX
Proposal To prune all overhanging branches that extend into the boundary of my property.

There is also a large tree in my garden within my property boundary (a swap cypress tree) which it is also my intention to prune and I'm going to assume it is also subject to the TPO No. 414 for the area hence I will mention it here now also. It is my intention to prune the branches of this tree and remove approximately 20% of the overall height of the tree. Whilst the purpose of this is in part for the same reason as pruning the overhanging branches on the PCC owned trees (to prevent falling branches), it is to allow additional light onto the top portion/ lawn area of the back garden. Our back garden is land that lies at the lowest point in the valley, notable by the Chaddlewood Stream that runs just behind the rear boundary of our back garden, and as such the land can become very waterlogged at times of heavy rainfall. A reduction in height of the tree thus allowing additional sunlight onto the top portion/ lawn area will aid and hopefully speed-up the time it takes to dry out after each time it rains. This swamp cypress tree is also a very large tree which need attention so it makes sense to conduct any pruning work to this tree now rather than in the (very) near future by way of a separate application.
