Planning application
Woolgars Cottage Town Lane Porchfield Newport Isle Of Wight PO30 4PA
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
All Leyland cypress trees - Remove. The trees are not in keeping with the character of the surrounding conservation area, provide little benefit to wildlife and could be considered as detracting from the aesthetic appearance of the area. The trees were planted to form a hedge around the garden and have now grown beyond this purpose.
