Plot 13 River Lark Bank Spooners Drove Isleham Cambridgeshire CB7 5RQ

Granted East Cambridgeshire 24/01162/TPO Work to tree with existing TPO

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

T3 mature Willow - Prune to create a new pollarded tree 6-7m in height in keeping with the management of adjacent trees and to enable its long-term retention in the space available T4, 5A, 5, 6, 7, 8 9 &10 Young Willows as shown on the sketch plan for plot 13 - Prune to create pollards 2-2.5m in height as habitat creation and to aid natural light filtration. The trees are currently tall and slender The trees are on privately owned moorings and sit between the water line of the River Lark and the public footpath on the floodbank at Riverview Marina. They are taking light from the land, preventing the use of solar power. They also present a hazard if not managed, due to the nature of the trees to crack and drop branches, or fall, which could land onto the public footpath, onto the moored boats or into the River Lark
