Works: Trees Small domestic
Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
FELL Eucalyptus - poor specimen currently of medium height which has been pollarded at some point in the past. The tree is too large for the position it occupies . I would like to remove the tree and replace it with a better positioned and sized tree, such as a rowan tree, as part of an extensive re-landscaping project. The tree is also located too close to a boundary wooden fence, which it is damaging. I would like to remove and replace with a sturdier brick and timber wall, more suited for the longer term, which will require concrete foundations. This also forms part of the planned extensive re-landscaping project.
