6 Vicarage Close Belper Derbyshire DE56 1TB
This application is to reduce a large, mature Lime tree situated in a small rear garden at Vicarage Close, Belper. The tree is subject of a TPO/92 and also is within a conservation area. The tree has been subject to a previous reduction authorisation and the request is to reduce it to the previous points as before, as well as remove small amounts of epicormic growth on the lower part of the tree. Photographs supplied clearly show where the previous points reduced to last time and the size of the tree. Currently, the branches of the tree are touching the roof of the house and leaf mess is causing blockages to the guttering of the premises. It is also overhanging all the neighbouring properties. The occupant accepts the importance of the tree, the leaf mess and lack of light that comes with it, but is now concerned about the height.
