Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
The neighbour has now raised concerns over the overall condition of the tree as identified by the TPO in the previous approval. This a fir tree and is requested to be removed altogether as the neighbour has concerns over the potential risk to damage to their wall and the potential of considerable cost on the repairing of the wall should any issue occur with the tree. Please note that the tree is on a sandy bank. Whilst applying for the removal of the tree - it is also requested that all trees in the area be cut back and any dead wood removed, which could result in all trees being removed from this area
