Planning history at 55 Thomas Street is exclusively tree-management applications — typical for a property with mature trees on or near the plot.
T1 - Copper Beech; Mature tree in close proximity to the houses and road, with significant overhang to the houses and road. We seek the councils permission to remove the tree adjacent to No. 55 Thomas Street due to persistent safety risks, ongoing property damage, and interference with the public highway issues which remain unresolved despite regular professional pruning. 1. Danger to Public Safety Falling branches present a serious hazard to pedestrians beneath the canopy. This is of particular concern as the pavement is used daily by children attending Powell?s C of E Primary School and by attendees of the neighbouring Quaker House. A previous incident saw a large branch narrowly miss a parked vehicle at No. 57, highlighting the ongoing risk of injury or worse. 2. Recurring Damage to Property The tree has caused repeated and costly damage: ? Owner?s property (No. 55): Broken roof tiles, damp, shed and porch damage, and mould from overhanging branches. Repairs total ?4,209.60. ? Neighbour?s property (No. 57): Roof damage repaired in 2024 costing ?860. ? Structural damage: Roots have cracked paving and concrete surrounds at Nos. 55, 57, and 59, requiring ?1,490 of repairs, yet further cracking is occurring. ? Listed property (No. 53): Excessive leaf and debris fall frequently block guttering, requiring constant maintenance. 3. Interference with Public Highway and Amenity ? Obstruction: The Stagecoach Bus Company reported branches impeding buses, requiring repeated pruning. ? Hazardous conditions: Leaf fall creates slippery, unsafe conditions on the footpath, especially in wet weather. Despite regular sweeping, debris quickly accumulates. ? Loss of light: The tree significantly reduces natural light to No. 55 and neighbouring homes. Conclusion Despite regular maintenance, the tree continues to endanger public safety, cause substantial and recurring property damage, and obstruct public use of the area. Further pruning cannot address these inherent risk
That can mean the property has never traded since the registry began publishing in 1995, was a new build that hasn't been registered yet, or is held in the same hands long-term.
