Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Leyland cypress: Fell and remove stump. Circled in Red - at the back of the property. There is no tree preservation order. The tree in question is a Leyland cypress which is approximately 17 metres in height and growing. It has a stem diameter of 580mm (measures at 1.6metres in height). The tree is located on my northern boundary and along the boundary wall of number 44 Ailsa Road as shown on the site plan attached. I have already applied to fell and remove the other Leyland cypress and now feel that this one may cause damage as well - it is currently pulling up the wooden boarder and likely to be better to take both trees down at the same time to avoid disruption. They are close together so likely to affect each other. If the tree is allowed to grow to maturity, it may grow to excess of 30metres in height and achieve a 1000mm stem diameter. There are no prominent features, it is no native to the UK and necessarily adding to the value of the local area. The loss would have no impact on the area as we back on to the St Margarets Pleasure Grounds where there are many large and beautiful trees exists so the loss of this tree would have no adverse impact on the local area.
