Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1- Lime tree. Reduce back to previously pollarded areas approximately 2 metres. This tree has historically been pollarded in an attempt to keep in line with surrounding pollarded Lime trees. This tree however appears to be taller the then the others in the surrounding. Reduce the height a further 1.5 metres beyond previously reduced area totalling 3.5m reduction from the top. This would achieve a better uniformity with the surrounding Lime trees, the home owner gaining more light into the garden and property below assisting in the lawn maintenance & plants would also benefit. Current height 14 metres. resulting height 10.5m. Current width 11 metres. Resulting width 8m.
