Planning application
5 The Gryphons Pittville Circus Road Cheltenham Gloucestershire GL52 2GB
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1 Large Cedar - Weight reduction of 2.5-3 m and deadwood removal. The tree has recently split out two limbs; on our visit we noticed a couple of other branches that have fractures and, given that the tree is over 3 gardens, car park area and garages, we recommend the above works/specification. A MEWP will be used to facilitate this work.
