Planning application
Land East Of The Street Bramerton Norfolk
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
All trees and hedges on the eastern side of The Street, Bramerton to be cut back to completely uncover the footway and achieve a minimum 2.3m clearance above the footway. Also, raise any tree crowns (to an estimated minimum 3.0m clearance) on the driveway leading to the Church of Saint Peter car park as that is where site compound for the works will be located. Any vegetation works will be supervised by a qualified person to identify bird nests as it is nesting season. Refer to drawing number 'PMC020-HD-0000-002' for the Hedge and Tree Trimming Extents. This is to facilitate footway maintenance works which due to street works requirements can only be carried out in the Summer Holidays, planned to start on 20th July 2026. Vegetation works need to be carried out prior to 20th July 2026 to ensure the works can go ahead. If vegetation works are not carried out prior to this date, the footway works will be at risk of being postponed until summer 2027.
