Acer tree to front of house (see sketch of location and photograph) Tree roots are causing structural damage to listed property as well as boundary wall with neighbour (see photographs attached). Removal of tree is therefore proposed. Replacing with a new tree is not proposed - this would simply lead to the same issue occurring again. Tree does not appear to be significantly old - photographs from historic planning application records show the tree was not present in 2015, so was likely planted sometime in the last decade.
