MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM / TEMPLEOGUE / FIRHOUSE / BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, April 09, 2024

MOTION NO. 3

MOTION: Councillor D. McManus

That this area committee asks the Chief Executive to ensure a public tree in Tymon Park is cut back as it is growing over the boundary wall of 26 Osprey Park, Templeogue and the tree is impacting the roof of a private shed, that this matter was raised previously with SDCC but no works occured and this matter should now be prioritised?

REPORT:

The Council has appointed an independent arborist to survey the trees at the rear of 26 Osprey Park, as all of the trees at this interface between Tymon Park and Osprey Estate need to be examined. Arising from that survey any works required will be prioritised in accordance with the Council's Tree Management Policy “Living with Trees”.  Any trees which are found to be overhanging the boundary of private property will be pruned back as part of the programme of works which arises from the arboricultural survey.
