191 Cambridge Road Great Shelford CB22 5JN
TPO 0025 (2002) G1: T1 and T2 Silver Birch - Remove and replace with three advanced nursery stock Himalayan Birch (Betula utilis 'Jacquemontii') as per the submitted planting plan (drawing reference: 11088 PP 01 Rev A). Reason: The two existing Silver Birch are situated within the center of the property's driveway and prevent vehicles from freely accessing the property. They have outgrown their available space and over dominate the property's frontage, restricting the availability of natural light within habitable rooms and regularly conflict with the roof eves and guttering. Rather than reducing their crown size which Silver Birch is known to not respond well to, it is proposed to replace their amenity with new trees in a more appropriate and sustainable location i.e. on the edge of the property's frontage with Cambridge Road within a strip of soft landscape next to the driveway. New trees in this location will be appreciable from the public realm and contribute to the character of the Cambridge Road street scene, but importantly will be offset an appropriate distance from the property where they will have the space available to mature and establish large crowns. It is noted that the proposed replacement planting also sits well with the location of other Birch situated along Cambridge Road.
