    21/03174/TRE Submitted 15 Jun 2021 216m away

    I understand that some of the trees behind our back garden are under a TPO. I am not sure of TPO number as I could not find the planning application when I searched. We would like to part raise and part lower the grass area in our garden to make it level. As i understand, the original planning permission for our property does not allow any excavation for this area hence my application. The trees directly behind our house are small so I would like to get someone to come and have a look to confirm what we can/ can't do.
