6 Savile Way And Fowlmere Church Fowlmere Cambridgeshire SG8 7TU
Proposal
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.

Decision issued: Have No Objection To
What a grant of permission means
The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
