Planning application

Gonville Hotel Gonville Place Cambridge Cambridgeshire CB1 1LY

Refused Cambridge 24/1152/TTPO Works to TPO trees

Works: Trees

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

T1 - London - Trim by 2m - 2.5m all over to reduce the risk of falling branches onto customers parked cars or people. Reason - The tree is located in the car park of the Gonville Hotel. The tree is healthy but is in need of trimming back as there may be a danger of branches falling into the car park and onto guests cars.

    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.
