Planning application
Furzey Lodge Nash Lane East Coker Yeovil Somerset BA20 2HN
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Application to Fell No. 2 Trees as shown within the South Somerset District Council (EACO 1) 1989 Tree Preservation Order. T6 (Thuja) and T9 (Spruce) - both over 15m tall. The trees are overgrown and interfering with T7. T6 & T9 are growing through the branches of T9. The three trees are over crowded and fighting for light. Felling T6 & T9 will help the longevity of T7. Tree surveyor Bryn Andrews has visited the site and commented T6 & T9 are interfering with T7and felling would be advised to protect T7.
