Planning application
170 Mansfield Road Alfreton Derbyshire DE55 7JQ
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
I have 5 large cherry trees at the front of my property, at the borderline, before the public pavement and then main road. Im applying to have the trees pruned. Theyre overhanging in all directions; neighbours drives, pavement and towards my home. The branches are also getting very low and starting to touch the roof or my car, when parked on my driveway. This application is purely for practical trimming or the trees. I wouldnt want to lose the overall presence of them, but they do require some maintenance. I have spoken with a tree surgeon who has confirmed he could carefully work on the trees, pending approval. Part of the plan is to trim the low hanging branches, which have gradually gotten lower over the last few years. Theyre currently below head height in parts. For example people have to duck on the pavement and I have to on the driveway. The 2nd part is to bring the sides in, so theyre not overhanging as much as they currently are. There are no intentions to reduce the overall height of the trees. Let me know if you need any more information. Regards, Job
