Refused Exmoor National Park 26/01198/TPO Tree Preservation Order

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

Application to Fell No. 1 Tree as shown within the Yeovil District Rural Council 1973 Tree Preservation Order. T1 - sycamore. We have had some complaints from her neighbours as it?s got so large and wide it?s overreaching the road touching on neighbours van roofs and dragging on neighbours campervan roofs alongside the row of garage s at side of property. We would like the tree to be removed.
