Condition Details / Information Notes
Insufficient justification has been provided for the proposed works
Pruning trees always causes some harm to them. Removal of branch tips can reduce dissipation of wind loads via mass damping, thereby increasing the risks of branch failure.
The proposed works would be to the detriment of the natural shape, form, and flow of the tree's canopy, and therefore to public amenity
Unnecessary tree works should be avoided to minimise the chances of detrimental impacts on the tree's vascular system, potentially leading to the ingress of harmful pathogens and decay, or the activation of latent pathogens or decay fungi
The tree is a prominent feature of Kempsey. There are very few trees of similar size or stature within the immediate locale. The tree, being prominent in the street scene, visible within both public and private views, including from some distance away, is of value in terms of public amenity. Its removal would be to the detriment of the street scene.
The proposed works would mean a reduction in the tree's leaf area resulting in the reduced availability of carbon and other products from photosynthesis. The proposed works would therefore be considered to be to the detriment of the tree's overall health and are therefore not considered acceptable.
