Planning application

238 Rainsford Road Chelmsford CM1 2PN

Refused Chelmsford 20/05094/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 - Sycamore - Pollard tree by 50% - to reduce the size significantly as the tree is choked up into the canopy as much as 70%; over-extended heavy tip limbs are falling, posing safety risk in garden. This will keep a safe and manageable re-pollard cycle. Cut and strip of the Ivy - ensure the health of the tree.

As published by the council, reference 20/05094/TPO
