21 Lupton Drive Barrowford Lancashire BB9 6JT

Tree is at rear of garden **Application for consent to fell ? 21 Lupton Drive, Barrowford** Consent is sought to fell the tree due to concerns regarding its declining health and structural stability. The primary concern is reported Ganoderma infection, alongside a reduction in canopy cover and a substantial number of dead branches. These symptoms raise concerns about the extent of any associated decay and its implications for the tree?s structural integrity. The tree has a large canopy, with several high-risk targets within its potential failure zone. The client has young children and is particularly concerned about the risk of falling branches or tree failure in areas used by the family. Extensive black fungal or mould-like growth has also been observed on the branches. This warrants further investigation, although its identity and any relationship to the tree?s decline have not been confirmed. Several lime trees within the same row have reportedly died. There is concern that development to the rear may have contributed to stress affecting these trees; however, a causal link between the development, infection and tree deaths has not been established. Given the reported fungal infection, canopy decline, extensive deadwood and surrounding targets, removal is requested on tree health and safety grounds. The application seeks to address the potential risk to people and nearby property.
