Works: Trees
Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.
Proposal
T1 Maple: Reduce the overall height of the tree and carry out a crown reduction by pruning back the canopy to provide suitable clearance from the buildings while maintaining a balanced natural shape. G1 Sycamores: Reduce the height by taking the tops out and prune back the longer lateral branches to lessen the overhang, maintaining a balanced canopy and suitable clearance.
