Planning application

8 Watling Street, Mountsorrel, Leicestershire, LE12 7BD

Granted Charnwood P/24/2098/2 Tree works Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

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).

    Magnolia -crown reduce by no more than 1.5 m ensuring clearance from house; Yew Tree - To reduce in size by 5-10%, no more t han 1m, and reshape. The tree doesn't currently enhance the street view and would benefit from some limited professional reshaping. Part of this work would prevent the tree over hanging the pavement and adjacent driveway. conifer - To remove a 'Christmas tree' planted in the rear garden by us some years ago. Its out of position and too close to adjacent trees. apple - To remove holly -to crown reduce by no more than 3m works to reshape and crown lift by removal of lowest branches
