Planning application
Chevin Mount Farnah Green Belper Derbyshire DE56 2UP
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Permission is requested to carry out work as follows: T1. Weeping Ash - To remove dead wood and tidy up the stragglers on the canopy. T2. Group of large Pine trees (I believe these are some of the trees specified in TPO468/22) - To clear the hangers from on the phone line, remove dead wood and to tidy up and create a good shape to all of the canopies using minimal cuts. T3. Horse chestnut - Raise the crown to 4m T4. Cherry - Raise the crown to 4m and take off 4m from the top canopy to reduce it in size while maintaining a good shape, using good pruning cuts. T5. Large chestnut tree - This tree is in poor condition. Permission was previously granted to dismantle it but the work was not carried out within the specified time frame. Permission is requested to fell the entire tree before it falls.
