Brief description of the works
17-Jun-19
1444
PMP Stourbridge Common
These works are general maintenance on Stourbridge Common.
There are two removals of dead Poplar trees 37 and 38. These are within the Play Area.
Tree 143 which is a London Plane tree has a crack in the main branch fork which divides out the main crown.
To preserve the tree I propose a crown reduction of 6-8 meters. This will reduce the weight on the branch fork.
Trees 23, 24 and 145 These Willows being reduce by 6-8 meters because of naturally over extending branches.
This is an evolved growth strategy for willow species as where large branches split and fall, it then roots and
regrows into a new tree or even trees. We do like Willows to naturally break and fall on our commons, for
creation or advancement of habitat. but this is provided the trees are away from footpaths/roads or areas of
busy pedestrian use. There is a footpath underneath the copy, so a reduction is proposed.

Tree Works Notification
For tree works submitted under a Tree Works NotificationI refer you to Policy GM3
of the Cambridge City Council Citywide Tree Strategy 2016-2026 Part 2:
“All planned tree works will be published on the Council website and through site
notices for the community to access at least 20 working days before implementation.
The council sees this as an important tool for communicating to the local community
about tree work planned for their area and the reasons why the works are
necessary.” https://www.cambridge.gov.uk/tree-strategy
The notification period will run for 20 days from the date of publication of the
schedule.
The majority of the works contained within these schedules consists of minor
pruning to address health and safety issues, or more significant works to remove
trees that are obviously dead, dying or diseased, or replacement planting for trees
that have been removed.
A brief outline of the planned works can be found in the table shown above however;
full details of the planned works can be found within the attached schedules and
maps.
Please note: where trees are due to be felled, these are marked on site with green
tape.
Public Scrutiny
For tree works submitted for Public ScrutinyA brief outline of the planned works
which we wish to be publicly scrutinised can be found within the attached schedules
and maps which will be available for ten working days following the date of
publication.
The planned works could involve either removing healthy trees over 75mm in
diameter as measured at 1.5m above ground level and/or any tree work or batch of
works that will have a significant impact on the landscape character of an area as
assessed by an arboricultural officer. This will include crown reductions of over 30%
in branch length on trees that have not previously been reduced.
The table above provides details of the works which are open for public scrutiny,
please note that some tree works schedules may contain other works in other
service areas than those open to this level of scrutiny. The following details only
relate to the significant works considered for scrutiny. Please note: where trees are
3
due to be felled, these are clearly marked on site with green tape.
I refer you to Policy GM5 of the Cambridge City Council Citywide Tree Strategy
2016-2026 Part 2:
“When considering tree works on City Council land, the Council will invite resident
and stakeholder comment regarding the following kinds of work:
a) Any tree work which will have a significant impact on the character of an area.
b) Felling healthy trees of over 75mm diameter
If you wish to make a comment about any of the works proposed, please submit
them via this link: Comment on a tree work schedule. All unresolved objections to
tree work subject to public scrutiny will be determined by the relevant Executive
Councillor.
