Planning application
34 Malvern Road Gloucester GL1 3JT
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
We have a very large walnut tree which is within our garden boundary. It is causing significant damage to boundary fences and patios/foundations in three gardens, including our own. We would like to have the tree removed due to the damage it is causing and concerns that should it become weak, it will cause significant damage to houses and may cause harm to children and animals. It is worth noting that previous to our ownership of the home, there was a similar situation in the garden where a very large tree fell and made contact with boundary fences and caused damage. We have children and animals and it is causing me a significant amount of anxiety worrying about the tree, which is having a negative impact on my mental health.

The mature Goat Willow (Salix Caprea) in my back garden needs to be pruned back a bit as it is growing a bit too much over the neighbours garden and also into the space where we have our washing line. It may also be good for the health of the tree to cut it back a bit and for new growth to occur. I intend for the crown to be reduce by one third. I intend to get the work done in the winter months during dormancy. In the spring the tree is very productive with catkins and it attracts lots of pollinators. The tree is valued by people and insects / birds / squirrels for this reason I'm wanting to keep it in good health / condition.
