Arboriculturally: Although there is an ash tree in the adjacent front garden, I have no concerns over the proposal and the tree. The wall will encroach significantly into the root protection area of the tree but the tree has a reduced amenity value. The applicant should be aware that severing roots can destabilise the tree and increase the likelihood of failure. Soft landscape: There is no soft landscaping mitigation. No other front boundary in the road has a wall. This boundary is going to look very prominent in the streetsceene and will create disharmony. Miriam Hill Tree Officer
