Planning application

The Willows Chapel Lane Blockley Moreton-In-Marsh Gloucestershire GL56 9BG

Granted Cotswold 24/02367/TCONR Works to trees in conservation areas

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

T1+T2 Beech - Thin canopies removing 10% of growth, Raise to approximately 2.5m above ground level - Reduce southwards pointing branches, which overhang neighbours up to 2m from tips These beech are quite congested and have some low branches, collectively causing excessive shading in the garden and at the back of the house. The low branches make it difficult to mow the lawn. Along with thinning, raising the canopy and will allow more light throughout the garden. There are also a few branches which overhang the adjacent property to the south which my client would like to reduce back to the boundary. Mainly stemming from the lower canopy, these branches will need approximately 1.5m removing from the tips T3,T4,T5 +T6 Maple - Reduce branches overhanging garden removing up to 3m from tips - Remove deadwood. Growing from the edge of the garden, these maples grow back towards the house and now cause excessive shading in the house and on the garden play area below
