Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
The two birch trees are in the front garden of 3 Alwyne Road and are as shown in Plan A attached. The trees have grown bigger than we were advised they would when they were planted and branches are now touching the house and overhanging the pavement. Please see the attached photograph. We would like to reduce Birch 1 by 2metres on all aspects and Birch 2 by 3 metres on all aspects. The very old pear tree is in the back garden of 3 Alwyne Road, close to the boundary wall with 4 Alwyne Road. It has shown signs of weakening over the last few years (producing fewer and fewer small pears and less vigorous leaves) and this year failed to produce any leaves in the spring and is now clearly dead. Please see the attached photographs. We would like to fell it and replace with a small and compact tree, possibly another pear.
