Planning application

Sycamores South Street Great Waltham Chelmsford CM3 1DF

Granted Chelmsford 20/05580/CAT Trees

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Sycamore - 2.5m to 3m crown reduction maximum. Removal of dead wood and ivy. Reasons: the tree is overreaching and it overhangs the neighbours' properties and the recreation ground, so there is a concern for the safety of residents and park users. Recent winds caused a branch to fall into a neighbour's property.

As published by the council, reference 20/05580/CAT
