Granted Conditions Demolition 9 docs -
1 Station Road Countesthorpe Leicester Leicestershire LE8 5TA
T1 - Giant Redwood Works - Reduce spread towards road by shortening spread of lead in that direction and shorten spread towards house. Up to 3m on road side and 2m towards house. Reason - Optimize form and control lateral spread of tree as the tree gets larger to keep in some form of proportion with space the trees have to develop. This species has a tenancy of branch failure so managing spread so it doesn't overhang the house or become isolated will prevent further issues in the future. T2 - Giant Redwood Works - Reduce spread to optimize form. Up to 2.5m over the property and 1m elsewhere. Reason - Optimize form and control lateral spread of tree as the tree gets larger to keep in some form of proportion with space the trees have to develop.
