no objection to removal of cherry trees given poor condition, suggested mitigation planting scheme which was provided
DEFA Forestry does not object to tree removal but recommends a replanting scheme with at least one tree visible from the road; Highways Division does not oppose; Arbory Parish Commissioners have no comment.
Key concern: close proximity of new garage to remaining cherry tree makes protection per BS 5837:2012 difficult
DEFA Forestry
Conditional No ObjectionGiven their condition the Department would not object to these cherry trees being removed but would recommend that some replanting takes place. This should include at least 1 tree which visible from the Glen Road, near the entrance to the property.; Protection of tree 1 (cherry) in accordance with the recommendations of BS 5837:2012 will be difficult to implement due to the close proximity of the new garage.; If the applicant would like to try and retain the tree that's fine, but it's not something we would insist on due to its defects.
Conditions requested: details of a planting scheme to mitigate the loss of these trees, specifying the species/cultivar, size of tree(s) to be planted, the planting specification, the timing of when the planting will take place and the type of post-planting maintenance
