Planning application

Land Adjacent 26 Thames Avenue Chelmsford Essex

Granted Chelmsford 26/05070/TPO Trees

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

T1 Lime (4841 on plan) - Crown reduction up to 2.5m to cut back to previous points and to ensure historical reductions are continued as there is history of reductions evident in the tree. This will prevent re-growth weight becoming too much at the previous cut points.

As published by the council, reference 26/05070/TPO
