Planning application

51 High Street Oakington And Westwick Cambridge Cambridgeshire CB24 3AG

Refused South Cambridgeshire 21/0265/TTPO Works to TPO trees

Works: Trees

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

TPO 0013 (1971) G1: T1 Sycamore to fell and replant a native tree in the form of a Victoria Plum (Due to the tree becoming too big. Since the TPO was originally made things have moved on. Previous owners have not maintained the tree adequately. Previous reductions on the tree have left it looking aesthetically poor. Also when in full leaf it makes the house dark and depressing. When the re growth grows the attachment points can be weak and there is a chance of branch fail which could result in injury to the public. The tree is expensive to maintain given it is over size and the chance of branch fail. Neighbours immediately opposite and immediately adjacent have had trees removed on they basis they were "too big" when they were less than half the size of this sycamore.)
