Planning application
28 York Terrace Cambridge Cambridgeshire CB1 2PR
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1: Robinia - Overhanging branch to be cut off where it meets the trunk. Robinia tree is leaning and overhanging garden. Branches have been cut off other side causing tree to be unbalanced. Branch is also shading garden preventing grass from growing properly underneath. Birds also perch on branches resulting in bird droppings preventing residents from enjoying their garden. As shown in photographs provided, cutting off overhanging branch will give tree a more balanced shape with less risk of one side being too heavy and eventually falling causing danger to people or property. T2: Eucalyptus - Overhanging branches to be cut back by 2 metres. Branches have been cut on the other side of tree making tree unbalanced. Tree trunk is also leaning heavily to one side. Cutting back overhanging branches will provide balance and overall stability and health benefits for the tree. Tree also has several dead branches that need to be cut off. Cutting of overhang will reduce risk of tree falling.

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.
