Planning application
Lower Farm Cottages Lower Street Blockley Gloucestershire GL56 9DP
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
The trees in question are on the boundary between Lower Farm Cottages and Lower Farm, close to Blockley brook - a self sown multi stem willow tree, which has grown close to the garage of Lower Farm, next to the Blockley brook and out of the back of a stone built BBQ. It is overhanging all the other shrubs and threatening the foundations of the garage. It should probably have been dealt with years ago. The two main trunks are about one foot in diameter. Height is difficult to estimate as it's growing round and through other shrubs and out across the brook and grass. - a self sown ash tree growing within the V of the willow. A single stem with diameter about 9 inches, height about 20 feet. We would also like to prune back the small prunus tree which has grown misshapen because of the willow. The final tree is the maple by the brook. We would like to deadwood that and remove some of the lower branches, raising the canopy to allow more light and sun to the picnic bench
