Orchard Cottage The Green Saxlingham Nethergate Norfolk NR15 1TG

Granted South Norfolk 2026/0395 Works to trees in Conservation Area

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Ash tree (T1) to be removed to ground level, current height approximately 14 meters. The tree is believed to be in decline as it has shown sparse foliage last year and keeps dropping dead wood. Also, according to a builder (hired by the owner), the roots are damaging the foundations of this listed building.
