24 Rutland Square Edinburgh EH1 2BW

Awaiting decision City of Edinburgh 26/0798/TCO Treework Within a Conservation Area

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

2 Leyland Cypresses in the rear garden, remove. Very limited rooting area due to the surrounding walls and they will get much bigger. 1 mature Sycamore in the rear garden, remove branches where they are touching or hanging low over the neighbouring building. Dead Laburnum in the rear garden, reduce down to 2.5m to be used as a support for a climbing plant.

As published by the council, reference 26/0798/TCO
