Brookside Fardells Lane Elsworth Cambridgeshire CB23 4JE
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Conifer / hawthorn / elder hedging (H1) - reduce height of Eastern boundary hedging to approximately 8ft in line with historic height. Works intended to provide a more manageable hedge, prevent interference with public highway (Paddock Row) and improve light of Brookside and neighbouring properties. Section has previously been kept as hedge but allowed to become overgrown by previous owner. Removal of Conifer Trees (T1) - Fell to near ground level. The two trees have been left to grow too large for the location, they take up unnecessary space in the garden and significantly block light to north. Removal of Conifer Hedge (H2) - Fell to near ground level. Hedge is non-boundary hedge and has become too large for location. Removal of Conifer Hedge (H3) - Fell to near ground level. Hedge is non-boundary hedge in a flower bed adjacent to a garden patio and been allowed to grow excessively large, swamping other plants. Intend to replant area with bedding plants.

Lordship Cottage 1 Fardells Lane Elsworth Cambridge Cambridgeshire CB23 4JE
Remove two semi-mature silver birch (T1 and T2) on the boundary wall to the east of the house. The trees have outgrown the space and are too close to the boundary wall and other neighbouring structures including the house. Our house has a thatched roof, and a thatcher commented that the trees are probably contributing to an excessive amount of moss on the elevation facing the trees. Surveyors monitoring subsidence on a porch at the north end of the house recommended that the trees should be removed. It is planned to replace with a much smaller tree such as prunus subhirtella 'Autumnalis'. A1 Plan attached A2 Photograph
