Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1, T2, T3, T5, T6, T7, T8, T9 Sycamore: Fell to ground level T4 Oak: Fell to ground level These works are to thin the area out of self seeded sycamores, to allow the best specimens to grow with space and to take the edge of the woodland back away from residents gardens. Once this stage of works are complete, we will replant the area with Hazel, Elderberry and Hawthorn within the next two years.
