Planning application

36 Embankment Road Kingsbridge TQ7 1LA

Granted South Hams 1848/26/TPO Works to a TPO Tree

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

T2: Holm Oak - Crown height reduction by 2m, crown thinning of 33 % & crown lift to 3.5m from ground level. Tree works required to ensure that it does not become too heavy and attracts too much wind, maintain it's health & safety & to ensure the safety of the public and walkers. Concerned that if the tree pulled itself out from the cliff, that it could well also damage neighbouring property & the shared mains drain.
