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

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Notification of intent to carry out tree surgery works to No.03 trees within a Conservation Area Group of 3 Willow trees arising from same root located in rear garden near to riverbank. This group of 3 trees grow from same root base but have developed into 3 distinct trunks. Each tree is approx 25m high approx 10m wide, all require reduction in height and width, request crown reduction by up to 30% to previous pollarded/last cut levels to approx 10m above ground, this is similar to previously LPA approved crown reduction at this property within last 7 years. Professional tree surgeon advised householder that planning application is required as this is a conservation area, and agrees that he will carry out the work once planning approval has been gained and is in place.
