Planning application

Inistime 5 Coles Lane South Petherton Somerset TA13 5AF

Granted Exmoor National Park 26/01792/TCA Work to Trees

Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

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 and removal of conifer hedge within a Conservation Area. T1 - Fell large conifer tree in front garden adjacent to mini roundabout at the junction of Coles Lane and Hayes End Lane. This will be in conjunction with removal of a nearby conifer hedge , both of which have overgrown our boundary wall by some distance. The combined works will improve visibility at the junction for car drivers and pedestrians- the junior school is opposite us. We will replace with low fencing and a lower mixed hedge which will be easier to maintain and set back from the wall and fence.
