82 South End Bassingbourn Cum Kneesworth SG8 5NL
Remove Cherry Tree (self sown) - too close to wall of the property, within 20cm distance. Property itself is a grade 2 thatched 17th century cottage. Roots in danger of causing damage to property wall, also water mains below ground in adjacent garden area. Anglia Water/ Cambridge Water have been called out twice within the past 10 years to deal with underground mains leaks which could be related to root system. Branches of the tree touch and extend above overhead telephone cables which cross the front of the property along South End. It would be inappropriate to replace with a similarly sized tree as the area at the front of the house, where the cherry tree is growing, is too small and its proximity to the house is the problem.
