    Cutting down of Common Cedar tree and removal of stump to prevent any further damage to garden walls. This tree is very large for a small back garden and blocks large amounts of light in the afternoon. This tree has already caused some damage to a decorative wall within the garden. This application has been submitted due to the tree being within the preston park heritage conservation area and being above the size limits for requiring permission to be cut down.
