Planning application

Old Rectory Brimpsfield Gloucestershire

Granted Cotswold 26/02457/TPO Trees

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Silver Birch overhanging the driveway - to fell. This tree has an asymmetric crown due to group pressure. The tree which caused this has now been removed, leaving the Silver Birch exposed and likely to fail. A hard reduction to alleviate this danger would leave the tree looking unsightly and, in my opinion, it would be better to fell this tree to near ground level.
