Planning application

Pen Yr Allt, Babell, Holywell, CH8 8NJ

Granted Flintshire TCA/000830/25 Trees in Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within five years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Application for the removal of a self-seeded sycamore tree which has established within and through the remains of an old stone oven. The growth of the tree has caused structural damage, and the stonework is now collapsing, creating a safety concern. The sycamore tree is located on the edge of the conservation area boundary and has grown directly through the remains of the stone oven. Its continued growth has destabilised the structure, caused collapse and created a safety risk. Consent is being sought for the removal of the tree in order to make the area safe. This approach both addresses the immediate safety concern . We will also look to plant a replacement tree within our land though away from the residential curtilage of our property.
