Planning application
Land Rear Of 25 To 45 Craiston Way Great Baddow Chelmsford Essex
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
W1 - Ash - monolith storm damaged ash. Reason: Decay fungi is present . W1 Willow - Re-pollard and cut ivy. Reason: The tree has ivy obscuring much of the tree trunk preventing a proper visual assessment. W1 Willow - Re-pollard and top/pollard existing willow limb on multi-stem tree - One limb has been pollarded historically which could do with a re-pollard to prevent overhanging the desire line and a private garden. The other limb which is being cut back and turned into a pollard is extending into the private garden slightly 0.2m and would require cutting back and made into the pollard.
