Planning application
52 Owlstone Road Cambridge Cambridgeshire CB3 9JH
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
One mature Buddleia (Buddleja davidii) located in the front garden of the property (although Buddleia is generally classified as a shrub rather than a tree, notification is being submitted because the plant has developed multiple substantial stems, with a stem diameter exceeding 75mm) - Fell and remove the Buddleia completely, including the main stems at ground level, to improve the appearance of the site and allow replacement planting with more appropriate ornamental shrubs and plants. The proposed replacement planting will enhance the appearance of the property frontage and preserve the character and amenity of the conservation area.

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.
