Planning application

Selwyn College Grange Road Cambridge CB3 9DQ

Granted Cambridge 21/0459/TTCA Works to CA trees

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Horse Chestnut (198) fell and stump grind. This is due to proximity to building, tree is not in the greatest of health, clearly very stressed and possibly diseased. Doesn't have the best amenity value and is also close to younger Tulip Tree, that can replace it as mature tree specimen in location. Tree has previously been reduced in size and shows no real regrowth. To be replaced with two new trees located further away from the building 1x Horse Chestnut and 1x Sweet Chestnut.

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.
