Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Cherry Laurel, shown are a green circle marked "1" on the site plan. We would like to fell the laurel because it's overgrown and blocking light into the garden year-round. We would like to replace it with a variety of native deciduous and flowering hedge shrubs that will be good for wildlife, such as hawthorn, blackthorn, bird cherry, dog rose, and flowering currant.

The tree we are are applying to remove is a sycamore, which has grown to big for the root base, which is on the edge of the scout field and Peel View. The tree is also covered mostly with ivy, we consider the possibility of potential damage or danger to both the scout property and Peel View. We have recently cleared the hill side of debris and rubbish and plan to replant several English trees along with the apple, silver birch and beech that are already present.
