All the trees in and around Darlington to be felled this week

Here are all the trees with planning decisions made about them in and around the town this week:

Elm to be felled in Middleton St George

Work has been approved at 1 Church Lane, Middleton St George, within a designated conservation area.

The plan involves felling one elm and re-pollarding five white poplars to their previous height.

The proposal was approved with no objections.

Sweet chestnut reduction approved

On land associated with Woodland Villa, 5 Greystones Drive, permission has been granted to reduce the crown of a sweet chestnut.

The tree is covered by Tree Preservation Order 1962 (No. 3) A2.

Approved work will see the eastern side of the tree’s crown reduced by up to 1.5 metres, representing approximately 20 per cent.

Beech tree maintenance at Netherby Rise

Work has also been approved at a property known as Ivycroft on Netherby Rise.

Here, Darlington Borough Council has permitted the pruning of a beech tree subject to Tree Preservation Order (No. 11) 2022.

The approved work will provide a clearance of 1.5 to 2 metres from the adjoining roofline and remove any deadwood overhanging the adjacent highway.
