Planning application
Waterworks House Main Road Lea Matlock Derbyshire DE4 5GJ
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
As detailed on the Amber Valley tree works form, we are seeking to fell and remove four Leylandii trees that were planted in the 1960s and are now in poor sprawling condition due to lack of regular management! They represent an important barrier between us and the neighbor, Western Power sub-station! Hence we intend to replace them with the same number of Red Ceder (Thuga) because it is so important to us. These four trees in the plan (T1 T2 T3 and T4), are very old and have shown NO signs of regrowth for many years. (We have been here since 2016) Western Power have struggled with bows over their transformers for years and they are due to put in a larger transformer anytime soon so it seems an ideal time to start again hopefullly before nesting time... The views are in the front garden clearly visible from the road.
