Planning application
P/24/2098/2
8 Watling Street, Mountsorrel, Leicestershire, LE12 7BD
Proposal
To fell 2 ash trees to ground level. To trim a Yew tree and pollard a Magnolia. TRIM YEW TREE: The three was reduced in height a couple of years ago and now needs a trim to keep it in shape. No more than a few inches will be removed to achieve this. This probably doesn???t need planning permission. POLLARD MAGNOLIA: Pollard the Magnolia to about 2.5 metres and create a much smaller bush. FELL ASH TREES: To fell 2 ash trees. The main one is overhanging a garage roof to No 8 and a glass rooved extension to No 4 Watling Street. The second one is growing up alongside a brick outhouse to No 4 Watling Street and starting to push it over (see photos).

About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
