| Conditions / Reason for Refusal: |
The Sycamore tree stands as shown within the submitted details. The tree has been inexpertly pruned in the past, leaving the remaining tree in poor form and has possibly contributed to the significant die back within the crown of the tree. A large cavity with associated decay is present on the main stem of the tree which may result in full or partial failure. As such, there are no objections to the proposed works.
Conditions:
1. All tree works shall be carried out in accordance with British Standard 3998: 2010 and shall not exceed the works as described in the officer report above.
2. Please note the authorised works should be completed within 2 years of the decision notice otherwise a new application for consent to carry out any non-exempt tree work will be required.
3. The removed tree must be replaced with a newly planted tree. The replacement tree must be planted within 12 months of this letter; and of a size not less than 10-12cm girth when planted. It is recommended that planting takes place between the months of October and February but being careful to avoid periods of waterlogging or hard frost. If the new tree species is different from that removed, then Rotherham’s Planning department must be consulted before planting is completed.
