Planning application

85 High Street Balsham Cambridgeshire CB21 4EP

Granted South Cambridgeshire 24/0662/TTPO Works to TPO trees

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

T1: Ash (Fraxinus excelsior), Fell. Due to a severe infestation of bamboo that is causing damage to the property and adjoining properties, we need to remove the bamboo rhizomes. However, due to the proximity of T1, we will cause significant structural damage to T1, therefore, it is required that we remove the tree to safely undertake the removal of the invasive bamboo.
