Planning application

The Green High Street Fowlmere Cambridgeshire SG8 7SS

Granted South Cambridgeshire 24/0953/TTCA Works to CA trees

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

1no. tree should be felled due to its condition (Field Maple 144 on sketch plan). This seems to be suffering from excessive shading from larger surrounding trees, which is a natural process of succession. This tree is situated close to a bench and a path, plus near an area of grass that children play on. Therefore needs to be felled as a safety issue.

As published by the council, reference 24/0953/TTCA

    T.1 Cherry - Fell to ground level and remove stump to facilitate a new landscape design scheme. The tree has outgrown the available space within the small rear garden and is now the dominant feature of the area. In conjunction with the surrounding mature Lime trees in the church, it contributes significantly to shading, reducing natural light levels to the garden and rear of the property. Removal of the Cherry tree will improve light penetration, enhance the usability of the garden space, and allow for the implementation of the proposed landscaping design. T.2 Yew - Reduce the lower lateral spread by up to 4 metres back to the boundary line. The tree is owned by Fowlmere Church - The lower canopy is causing excessive shading to the rear garden and interfering with the use of the children's play equipment. The proposed reduction will improve light levels, increase usable garden space, and provide suitable clearance from the boundary whilst retaining the tree.

    3 Elm trees on the NNE side of the path, and 2 Elm trees on the SSW side of the Path. As these is adjacent to a highway, and a footpath and near houses, these trees need to be felled for safety reasons. As this is a great habitat some may be felled to monolith 1m height. There are several Elm Trees in this area alongside the Highway (Ryecroft Lane) which have succumbed to Dutch Elm disease, and are dead or dying. There is Dutch Elm disease in this area, so if new trees are to be planted they need to be disease resistant.
