G4 Magnolia x3 - Reducing the height and spread of the tree by up to 1.5 metre T6 Silver Birch - Fell to ground level. G7 Silver Birch x4 - Fell the trees nearest the garage and the second tree in from the gate to ground level. Crown reduce the two remaining trees by up to 1.5⿯m in height to achieve a more uniform appearance. These works are planned as part of the regular maintenance of the garden. The removal of the three Silver Birch trees is due to their unsuitable planting locations. Removing these trees will allow the remaining trees to establish more effectively and improve the overall amenity value of the garden.

The council has decided this application; the published outcome sits in the record above and the decision notice on the council portal carries the detail, including any conditions.

About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
