Planning application
Slades Paddock Main Street East Coker Yeovil Somerset BA22 9JY
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 Lawson Cypress to remove to ground level.. The tree has been reduced several times in the past but the root plate is now starting to outgrow its situation and will start to affect the building in the near future. Therefore as there are no long term prospects for the tree, I believe it is time for its removal.
