Planning application
Parking Area Dove House Close Fowlmere Cambridgeshire
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
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.

The Green High Street Fowlmere Cambridgeshire SG8 7SS
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.

11 Savile Way Fowlmere Cambridgeshire SG8 7TU
x3 ash trees - which are approximately 8-10 metres tall and are approximately 6 metres from the wall of my house. I am proposing to reduce the height of the trees to below the gutter level of my house which is approximately 5 meters. Reasons: Having renewed my house insurance recently, some policies had penalties or higher premiums due to the height of the trees within close proximity to the house. I have lived in the house since 1989 and over time the trees have grown significantly. The height of the trees in such close proximity restrict the light to my house which means on the ground floor kitchen I often have to still use a light even in summer. Reducing the height of the trees will permit more light into my house. The garden it self has over time become more and more overshadowed by the trees. They impose shade for all but a few hours of the day. Also pollarding the trees will continue to keep them in good health.

TPO 0011 (1980) A1: T1 Sycamore to crown reduce by 25% leaving the tree with a crown radius of no less than 3.5m and deadwood. (To improve light below and reduce weight and sail. This mature has not been managed for over 10 year. While it is in good health it has become very tall with a prominent sail over both the owners property and the adjacent property, the owner of which has complained about falling branches. This tree is also causing excessive shading for the property behind the owners house and. The neighbors have complained about this for years apparently.) T2 Sycamore to crown reduce by 3m (to previous pruning points), a 15% thin and deadwood. (To improve light below and reduce weight and sail. This mature self seeded Sycamore has not been managed for over 10 years. While it appears in good health it is exibiting decay at the bifocation at the base as well as bark inclusion. It has become very tall with a prominent sail over both the owners property and the adjacent property, the owner of which has complained about falling branches. This tree is also causing excessive shading for the property behind the owners house and is also now touching the roof of both propertys!. The neighbors have complained about this for years apparently.)

6 Savile Way And Fowlmere Church Fowlmere Cambridgeshire SG8 7TU
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. T.3 Lime - 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.
