3 Spinney Drive Great Shelford CB22 5LY

Granted South Cambridgeshire 21/0527/TTCA Works to CA trees

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

(T1) Plum to be reduced by 1.5 metres for general maintenance, tree is overgrown and is getting close to roof. (T2) Plum. Reduce side branch by 1 metre to give tree more balanced look as it is leaning to one side. (T3) Plum. Cut dead branch back by 1 metre to live growth. (T4) Cypress to be felled as branches keep falling under its own weight over the drive. Tree is too close to the drive and makes it difficult to get car in and out. Cypress to be replaced by a fast growing tree that is easier to maintain such as 'Silver Burch' in the same spot.

    (1) Ash - fell. (Right in front of the lime protected by Tree Preservation Order number 08/02). The tree has a large cavity from which the central stem is growing (see accompanying photos and diagram). There are no suitable growth points to reduce the tree to without effectively pollarding it. As this would completely change the appearance of the tree and spoil the aesthetics of the garden (and considering the large number of other trees nearby (and next to it)) we feel it is best to remove it completely. (2) Holly - Fell (leaving sucker stem from base to form new tree). This tree has a thinning canopy and the Greens would like to remove it to allow the sucker growth to replace it (hopefully with denser foliage)

Several of the unions are questionable as well due to previous poor work. Recomend a 3.5m crown reduction to suitable growth points where possible.
