Planning application
Millwood Mill Lane Bruton Somerset BA10 0AT
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Notification of intent to carry out Tree Surgery Works to No. 1 Tree within a Conservation Area. T1 - Crack Willow: three stems, previously pollarded to circa 9m. Heavily infected at base and mid canopy with gannoderma bracket fungus. Large limb failure at ground level which went in to river. Proposed work: Remove river side stem to ground level. Re-pollard stems leaving towards property grounds to approx 2-3m in height. This will be done in a phased approach with the removal of the river side stem being done as a priority and the further pollarding at a later stage to mitigate impact on local landscape.
