Granted Forest of Dean P1261/25/TCA Trees within a Conservation Area

Works: Trees Small domestic

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

Proposal

Reduce crown of Crab Apple tree at front of house by 25% as it is growing into the side of the double garage (including guttering) and blocking neighbours access to their parking spaces. Reduce crown of Rowan tree at rear of house by 25% as it is dominating our decking area and blocking the sun. Dead willow and overgrown hazel to be felled at rear of house as both are interfering with fence line and degrading the brook gabion wall.
