Planning application

7 Balsham Road Fulbourn CB21 5BZ

Granted South Cambridgeshire 21/0475/TTCA Works to CA trees

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Juniper (T1) - fell because of excessive shading and low amenity value. Extremely close to the front elevation of the house, so may potentially cause structural problems to the house. For purposes of utility of the front garden and in order to maximise other planting requirement to fell the tree. Replant of betula albosinesis fascination opposite to the house (approximately 3 metres from the current juniper) Laburnum (T2) - fell because of position in the hedge/proposed new acoustic fencing. New garden design to increase the number of species of plants and enhance the appearance of the front of the house with the construction of acoustic fencing due to high noise levels of the adjacent road (see sound engineer report). Laurel (T3): multi-stemmed shrub, but some stems now >75mm. Fell because of excessive shading of the house, low amenity value, close proximity to the structure of the house. Replanting of a hydrangea approximately 2 metres from the current site of the laurel and other plants/shrubs incorporated in the new design.
