Planning application

1 The Crescent Buckminster Leicestershire NG33 5SF

Awaiting decision Melton 26/00523/TCA Trees

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Fell x1 horse chestnut tree. There is a large cavity and significant dieback in the upper crown causing a major Health & Safety hazard to pedestrians, residents and highway users due to the location of the tree in relation to the pavement and road. Deadwood removal has been completed in the past but the dieback is worse and needs to be removed.

As published by the council, reference 26/00523/TCA
