Planning application
Millfield House Mathern Road Mathern Monmouthshire NP16 6JD
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within five years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Beech Tree on the boundary of Millfield, School House and 1/2 Stepaside. Tree does not have a TPO, but is in a conservation area. Tree is within 3 metres of Millfield's building, and overhangs all the properties, blocking light, and preventing necessary work on the garage roof of Millfield. Millfield is going to have solar panels, and the location is to be the roof of the garage - impossible given the tree overhang. The tree canopy was reduced about 10 years ago, and has therefore created large side branches. Request is to remove the tree but, if not, to reduce the canopy and remove low side branches that will otherwise grow into buildings, reducing the tree by at least 30% overall.
