Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Rear Garden T1 - Yew (in decline) Reduce by 50% to preserve tree. The tree is in heavy decline with little to no grown on the outer part of the tree. T1 will be reduced by 3.5m in height from 8m to leave a finishing height of 4.5m. T1 will be reduced 1m laterally from 2m to leave a radial spread of 1m. The works will increase the aesthetics of the tree. The works will help preserve the tree so that it doesn't need to be fully removed.
