Planning application
54 St Catherines Road Long Melford Sudbury Suffolk CO10 9JU
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Application for works to trees in a Conservation Area - (T1) Sycamore Fell the tree to as near ground level as reasonably practicable. Process and chip the resulting timber and branches where appropriate, removing all arisings from site. Treat the remaining stump using an appropriate herbicide application, such as EcoPlugs, to prevent regrowth. Reason for works: The tree has outgrown its available growing space and is considered unsuitable for its location. Visible signs of decay are also present within the canopy, raising concerns regarding its long-term condition and structural integrity. Removal is therefore recommended to prevent further deterioration and reduce the risk of future branch or tree failure.
