Planning application
Woodville Lodge 4 Newton Road Little Shelford Cambridge Cambridgeshire CB22 5HL
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Excessively large yew tree The tree is positioned in our back garden at the side of the house between two properties. The tree is now far too large for the space it occupies. It has a significant impact on our property, blocking light to our ground floor and first floor rooms. The tree overhangs our front drive and our neighbours drive, dropping 100s of red berries in certain seasons (NOW) which get into the house and are dangerous to our pets (It is well known the Yew berries from the female tree are highly poisonous) and children. We would like to fell this tree so that we can make better use of the garden space and make our house significantly lighter, so we don't have to use electric lighting during the day, even in the summer. We will show photos that demonstrate 1. How large the tree is 2. How is overhangs the fences into our front drive and our neighbours property 3. How close the tree is to our property 4. How dark the rooms are even on a beautiful sunny day.

T1 - Mature Lime - reduction of approx. 3m back to previous pollard points (framework pollard).
Granted Trees 7 docs -
6 Newton Road Little Shelford CB22 5HL
T1 - Ash - This tree is in good health. It is however becoming to large for its location. The neighbors have repeatedly asked for the tree to be reduced as they are concerned about the tree in high winds. The tree is causing excessive shade and becoming very dominant. Recommend removal of Rose and a sympathetic 1.5m crown reduction to growth points where possible. This will improve light and reduce sail. T2 - Prunus - Recommend a 2m reduction in height to growth points to improve light and reduce dominance. T3 - Prunus - Sympathetic crown reduction of 0.5m to growth points

69 Hemingford Road Cambridge Cambridgeshire CB1 3BY
T1 - Cherry tree - Reduce crown by about 3m, or, if this is not possible reduce the crown where it overhangs 67 Hemingford Road by a similar amount. Reason - This would reduce the overshadowing of the roof of 67 Hemingford Road and also prevent branches impinging on telephone wires connecting to 65 Hemingford Road.
