26/01524/TCA Granted
The Knoll Nursing Home 33 Preston Road Yeovil Somerset BA21 3AE
Notification of intent to Fell No. 1 Tree within a Conservation Area. Felling of tree T5 Mountain Ash on Knoll Arb report Oct 2025. (Please note this is directly behind T6 on report). The application follows a previous application to fell tree T6. It had been hoped by felling T6 that T5 may revive given less competition but this has not been the case and the recent hot weather has deteriorated the tree further. Brynley Andrews Arb Consultant has visually inspected the tree and advised it now needs felling for safety reasons given close proximity to the laundry. AMENDED SPECIFICATION 11.08.26: T5 - Cypress not Mountain Ash as previously reported.
