Planning application

Old Manor House 1 West End Long Clawson Leicestershire LE14 4PE

Awaiting decision Melton 26/00709/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

Yew tree on yard facing West End. The tree was planted too close to the stair turret of the Grade II* house, and continues to cause slight cracking in the turret. At about 25 feet high, it is overgrown for its position. The proposal is a 50% reduction by height to be undertaken over three years in accordance with good practice, i.e. reduce the height the first year (Spring 2027) and reshape the following years, giving a 75% overall volume reduction.
