Planning application

34 Parkside Quarter, Colchester CO1 1EA

Awaiting decision Colchester 212571 Works to Trees in 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

T1 Horse Chestnut - Section fell the tree to ground level, to prune the tree to the boundary would result in poor Arboricultural practice by leaving the tree with large wounds to the main stem as the main topsection of the tree would have to be removed.

As published by the council, reference 212571
