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

Proposal

T1: Semi Mature Eucalyptus - Fell to ground level.

Applicants would like tree removed to allow space for some more suitable and more manageable species. T2: Young Multi Stemmed Ash - crown raise outer limbs by 2 mtrs to lift crown away from neighbouring trees & encourage tree to grow taller as opposed to wider, T3: Mature Dogwood, reduce by 1-1.5m all over to allow more light into greenhouse below, T4: Conifer - fell to ground & T5: Magnolia - reduce by 1m all over to balance crown & bring to shape
