12The tree is not subject to a preservation order. It is highlighted via an arrow in the satellite image accompanying this application. We would like the tree (including stump) to be completely removed from the property via the best method a tree surgeon suggests (we have not consulted one as yet). Principally we are worried the tree roots could damage the patio and other garden features. We also think it could be a potential hazard to our hosue in stormy weather/high winds.

T1 Magnolia located in front garden, dismantle and remove including stump grinding, reasons as follows:- i) The tree has outgrown our small urban front garden ii) It is in great danger of damaging the garden walls iii) To allow more light to reach the front of our neighbour's house at 5, Princes Street South. Even though the tree was pruned severely three years ago, it has made little difference the the lack of light for that property. iv) The tree sheds leaves in abundance, with negligable blossom over the last three years. v) Leaf litter when wet is slippery and therefore dangerous to pedestrians, both on Princes Street South and in the adjacent private drive. It also has caused a large build up of moss on that same drive, causing a sever slip hazard for everyone entering that property. vi) It places in jeopardy the wires from the adjacent telecom pole to properties in the street in case of heavy winds. It also means that Outreach engineers have to use a cherry picker to reach the wires for repairs or upgrades. It causes them great aggravation.

Sketch plan: 62 EGR Dead Tree Location The cherry tree in our garden last blossomed in the spring of 2024, but then soon after dropped its leaves and has been bare since. We consulted a tree surgeon last year who advised the tree was dead, likely as a result of inadequate available soil nutrients for the tree, given its location in a small terrace house walled garden. We left the tree a year to see if it would recover, but in 2025 it did not blossom and has remained without leaf. A second tree surgeon was consulted recently and confirmed the tree is dead and advised it should be removed. The tree?s branches overhang a public footpath and neighbouring gardens. It is approximately 3 metres to the top of the canopy. We would like to remove the remains of the tree entirely before it becomes a safety issue for us, neighbours or those using the public walkway.

Assuming that if we are given permission to proceed that the work would be done by specialist tree surgeons.

T1- Ash Condition: Fair to declining. The tree is growing at a noticeable angle towards the dwelling. Issues: -Root activity is already causing damage to the low retaining wall along the driveway. -Continued growth poses a risk to a boundary wall of the driveway. -The lean towards the property presents a potential future hazard should the tree fail during adverse weather. -The trees root system also restricts the proposed widening of the driveway for vehicle access.

Issues: -Deteriorating structure with low amenity value. -Extensive ivy and bramble infestation. -Proximity to the boundary fence. -Contributing to shading of the rear elevation, exacerbating damp conditions. Recommendation: Removal due to poor health, structural weakness, and limited retention value. T3 Cherry Plum Condition: Poor. Ivy and bramble infestation present. Issues: -Toxic to dogs and potentially harmful to humans if ingested. -Provides little amenity or ecological value in current condition. -Growing into the garden fence and competing with adjacent trees. -Contributing to shading of the rear elevation, exacerbating damp conditions. Recommendation: Removal due to toxicity concerns, poor condition, and encroachment issues. T4 and T5 Apple Trees Condition: Poor. Infested with ivy and brambles for an extended period, reducing vigour. Issues: -Toxic to dogs. -Suppressed growth and limited productivity. -Contributing to shading of the rear elevation, exacerbating damp conditions. -Growing into the garden fence Recommendation: Removal due to poor health, toxicity concerns, and to improve sunlight and airflow to the rear of the house.
