Planning application

157 New London Road Chelmsford CM2 0AA

Awaiting decision Chelmsford 26/05654/CAT

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Cherry Tree - 2m reduction in size, crown lift by 1m so the lower growth is evened out and the tree remains a good shape. Reason: The branches have extended over the property boundary over the path and upwards into the overhead telephone cables.

As published by the council, reference 26/05654/CAT
