Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Notification of intent to Fell No. 1 Tree within a Conservation Area. T1 chestnut tree to be dismantled and removed as tree is infected with rigidoporus ulmarius and has a large hollow at the base and has regularly dropped branches. The customer has already replanted rows of hawthorn and yew and these need to be protected as it is in full landscaped gardens. Obviously the customer is concerned about public safety as well as maintaining the gardens and protecting it from further damage.
