Planning history
Planning history at North Wing is exclusively tree-management applications — typical for a property with mature trees on or near the plot.
- Feb 2026Tree WorksTreesIn report
This application relates to the Ash trees on the Rackfield allotments site which are adjacent to my property. Please see the attached location sketch (Ash_trees_location_Nov2025.jpg) These trees are overhanging my property, including an expensive summerhouse. The trees often shed branches which fall in to my garden. I am seeking permission to reduce the overhanging branches by 50%. In principle, the work should be carried out by the City Council, but I am assuming that there are no funds available for this work. As a result, I am reluctantly prepared to pay for this work. I intend to employ Greentrees Arboricultural Service Ltd to carry out the work. We have used this company regularly for nearly 30 years. A photograph of the branches is attached (Planning1.jpg) Additional information, as requested. There are two large branches of about 5 metres in length and the application is to allow these to be reduced to about 2.5 metres. In addition, there are two smaller branches of about 3 metred in length and the application is to allow these to be reduced to about 1.5 metres. It is difficult to be more specific about the work, as photographs are of limited use. If more detail of the work is required, I would like to respectfully suggest a 10-minute site meeting with one of the conservation/tree team.
