Planning application
54 Gillinggate Kendal LA9 4JB
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Japanese Maple (T1) in rear garden – lift and thin crown to improve light and maintain form, removing one main limb and a side branch (paint-marked) with selective internal thinning; height unchanged. Magnolia (T2) in front garden – reduce limb overhanging neighbouring property while retaining balance, with minor crown thinning. Updated request - (i) T1 Japanese maple (rear of the property) - reduce the crown by a third to just below the level of the phone line for No. 52 Gillinggate, which is currently being impinged upon by foliage. (ii) T2 Magnolia (front of the property) - trim back any small branches overhanging the vehicle parking spaces on Gillinggate, since these are (on occasion) damaged by delivery vehicles.
