Planning application

11 Howard Road Cambridge Cambridgeshire CB5 8QS

Refused Cambridge 26/0628/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 - Field Maple - Felling and removal of the tree. Reason for Works - The tree is located in very close proximity to neighbouring buildings and has outgrown its current location. Its branches are overhanging the communal garden and neighbouring property at 14 Headford Close, Cambridge, CB5 8PQ. Pruning or crown reduction would not provide a suitable or permanent solution because the issue arises from the tree's unsuitable location, mature size, continued growth and close proximity to buildings, roofs, boiler pipes and services. Pruning would only offer temporary clearance and would not address the ongoing long-term risk of repeated interference with neighbouring property and nearby structures.

    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.
