Planning application
The Yews Cootes Lane Fen Drayton Cambridgeshire CB24 4SL
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1 - Silver Birch - Reduce height by up to 3 meters and reduce sides by up to 1 meter to increase light in the house and garden as well as keep the tree into a nicer and more manageable size. T2 - Apple - Reduce the branch that is growing into the hedge (up to 3 meters) and reduce the rest of the tree by up to 1 meter and clear congested branches. This is to stop it growing into the hedge and to preserve a nicer shape for the tree. T3 - Irish Yew - Fell tree and remove stump, to make way for the proposed extension to the property.
