Works: Trees

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

Fell tree in the rear garden as it endangers my house and my neighbours as if brought down by high winds it would reach our houses. If you cannot agree, please reduce 1/3 to 1/2 of its present size to reduce its soil area. A new tree can be replanted late
