Planning application
25 Storeys Way Cambridge Cambridgeshire CB3 0DP
Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
Yew - Fell Reason - The existing driveway opens directly onto a heavily used cycle route, creating a dangerous blind exit.Cycle traffic volumes and speeds have increased,including silent electric bicycles using both pavement and carriageway. - Tree is oversized and inappropriate in scale for a small cottage style frontage.It overshadows the property - The dense evergreen canopy and needle drop have caused a complete loss of ground vegetation, leaving a bare, shade area. - The tree produces highly allergenic pollen, making it unsuitable for a confined residential garden.
