Planning application
33 Hill Hay Road Gloucester GL4 6LS
Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
T.1 - Oak in rear garden - previously reduced in 2019 showing good vigour - Reduce overall crown height by 3-4m and lateral crown spread by 4m. The tree is very overbearing within the small, urban, rear garden, not only to the property itself, but to neighbouring properties. It is the key focal point of the garden, but due to the overall canopy size, it dominates the space. It has been reduced in 2019, to which it has responded well, which would suggest that a further reduction would be tolerated. It has good inner crown growth to support a reduction. Managing the trees size, will increase light and improve the usability of the garden.
