Planning application
Tippetts Cottage Kenwyn Truro Cornwall TR1 3DR
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Works to trees subject to a Tree Preservation Order, namely; 1) T1 Large Spruce, (unsure if this tree is old enough to be covered by the TPO 1974) Tree is considered too large for its current location, close to neighbouring property and just on drive. The owner feels anxious during strong winds and has concern that the tree could potentially fall. There is limited scope for reduction works, as any significant reduction would affect visual amenity. The tree is not considered a high quality speciman and not in keeping with other trees in the area. The costumer would like to fell the tree and re-plant with a birch species. 2) T2 Large Sycamore, mature tree with large low lateral limb which is overextending. We would like to reduce this section to help prevent possible future failure. reduce by approx. 10-15% please see ref 2
