Planning application

Medford Kings Mill Lane Great Shelford CB22 5EN

Granted Cambridge 20/2141/TTCA Works to CA trees

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

T1-T13 - This row of very large Laylandii are dominating the lane. They have been a point of contention for years with the residents. They offer little in the way of local amenity. Now the new owners have moved in they have decide to remove them completely to ground level to keep everyone happy. They are causing excessive shading and sway dangerously in the wind. To be replaced with a row of native Cherry trees. Work to be carried out in midwinter to have minimum impact of wildlife. T14 - Ash - This tree in in good health but has not been pruned in many years and is becoming very dominant. The neighbor next door (Cranmer lodge) is also concerned about it in the high winds. I propose a 4m reduction in height to reduce sail and encourage a lower crown. T15 - Silver Birch - This beautiful tree is a real asset to the property. It is in good health but is becoming very large considering it proximity to the house and the Cranmer lodge next door. I propose a sympathetic 3m reduction in height and 1.5m reduction on the sides to reduce sail and improve light below. Also a crown lift to 3.5m. This work is to be carried out in High summer to ensure the trees health. T16 - small conifer - this tree again has been a point of contention. it is also making the inside of the property very gloomy indeed. To be removed and replace with a native broad leaf tree further away from the house in a more suitable location.

    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.
