Planning application
The Nook 33A Kimbolton Road Bedford Bedfordshire MK40 2PB
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Remove six Lombardy Poplars as all trees are hollow with extensive basal decay and are therefore extremely unstable.
