Planning application

15 North End Bassingbourn Cum Kneesworth SG8 5NX

Granted Cambridge 20/2404/TTCA Works to CA trees

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Removal of the two large willow trees on the northern boundary of the property. When we purchased the property several years ago our surveyor advised that having such large trees so close to the property could cause damage to the foundations of the property due to roots. Since we are in a listed property we do not wish the trees to cause damage to either our property or our neighbours. The trees are also too big for their locations. The area would be replanted with small trees or shrubs particularly chosen to attract wildlife such as birds and insects.

    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.
