Becklands Low Road Fressingfield Eye Suffolk IP21 5QL
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Notification of works to trees in a Conservation Area - felling of three trees T1 is a moderately sized Silver Birch that is diseased and dying. T2 is a moderately sized Lawson Cypress. We propose felling this due to its proximity to a large and healthy silver birch T3 is a small Norway spruce that we propose felling because it has not grown well in among numerous other trees and shows very little crown cover.
