Planning application

Woolgars Cottage Town Lane Porchfield Newport Isle Of Wight PO30 4PA

Granted Isle of Wight 23/00597/TW Tree Works in Conservation Area

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.

As published by the council, reference 23/00597/TW
