Planning application
24 Speedwell Drive Balsall Common Solihull CV7 7AU
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Remove Scots pine tree T2 - due to the tree roots causing damage to the driveway surface (sufficient to render the surface unsafe in several critical places), in order to facilitate the removal and replacement of the block paving. To dispense with the duty to plant another tree of an appropriate size and species at the same place because the front garden is already well stocked with mature trees.
