3. Tree WorksNov 2019Oak (T2) - Fell and treat stump Statement of Reasons for Tree Preservation Order Application to fell and treat one Oak tree (T2) at: 38a Heather Road, Binley Woods, Coventry CV3 2DE TPO: TPO no. 139 1. The above tree works are proposed as a remedy to the differential foundation movement at the insured property and to ensure the long-term stability of the building. 2. The above tree works are proposed to limit the extent and need for expensive and disruptive engineering repair works at the insured property. In this instance the estimated repair costs are likely to vary between £8,000and £90,000, depending upon whether the tree/s can be removed or must remain. 3. The above tree works are proposed to limit the duration of any claim period and therefore allow the landowner their right to the peaceful enjoyment of their property. 4. It is the case that an alternative to felling such as pruning or significant 'pollarding' of the tree would not provide a reliable or sustainable remedy to the subsidence in this case. We do not consider that any other potential means of mitigation, including root barriers, would be effective or appropriate in the circumstances. 5. We are satisfied that the evidence obtained following completion of our Arboricultural Implication Assessment report completed 19th June 2019, clearly links the Oak (T2) as the cause of damage to the risk address. The policyholder has signed a mandate to remove their own implicated vegetation and are just awaiting a date for the tree works to be carried out. 6. Insurers understanding the requirement to offer replacement planting in the event consent to fell is granted.Decision
