Planning application
Spring Cottage 13 Bagthorpe Road Bircham Newton KINGS LYNN Norfolk PE31 6XB
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
2/TPO/00544 - T1 and T2, we wish to reduce the oaks by 1.5-2m over the circumference of the whole canopy to allow more light to pass beneath the canopy allowing more light to the road and drive entrance, reducing the risk of failure causing damage or injury to pedestrians or the buildings below. We wish to reduce the height by 1m to help retain a natural shape and a more desirable size as the tree is situated above the house and windows
