Planning application
20 Meadow Gardens Sprowston NR6 7RJ
Works: Trees
Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.
Proposal
T1 Sycamore - The tree has overgrown it???s surroundings and whilst it has been previously reduced, it features less than ideal unions and a large sail area. It also, being in a residential area, has the potential for huge damage if it were to fail. This is a request for full removal to create space in the garden and remove the risk of damage and clear up if the tree was to fail.
