Planning application
Back Flat 1 Florence Terrace Falmouth Cornwall TR11 3RR
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Works to trees in a conservation area namely Acacia Dealbata, Mimosa Tree at the main entrance to the property and garden. Remove first lowest limb over hanging the path, reduce over hang/crown lift to roughly in line with the boundary hedge but maintaining best athletic balance. Reduce crown in hight approx 1.5m and thin crown < 10%. Tree is leaning towards the road and path. Old wound in the base, back of stem, could indicate decay in base. Needs to have weight removed and crown clean to prevent wind throw, risk to life and to increase the likelihood of the future of the tree. Lower limb is at low head height causing obstruction.
