Planning application
30 Beeches Road Cirencester Gloucestershire GL7 1BW
Works: Trees
Part of this application was approved and part refused. The decision notice on the council portal sets out which is which.
Proposal
1. The tree marked TPO Tree (Copper Beech TPO158) is very tall and full. Propose to reduce its crown by 40% to reduce the excessive shading experienced by residents at Purley Court. 2. The tree marked TPO Tree (Mature Ash TOP 158/14). Pollard this tree to the point where it had been pollarded in the past (i.e. reduce its size by approximately 60%). Again due to the excessive shading and threat posed. In the case of failure it would cause significant damage to Purley Court residences)
