9 Cricklade Road Highworth Swindon SN6 7BW
Works to Trees Within Conservation Area. T1- LIME, COMMON (Tilia x europaea) The mature lime tree located along the property boundary has begun to cause structural issues, including visible subsidence and displacement of the boundary wall. Its proximity to the client?s property and associated structures presents an increasing risk of further damage if the tree is retained. While the tree forms part of a row of lime trees and contributes to the local landscape character, the client?s priority is the long-term stability and safety of their property and the surrounding built elements. Given the ongoing structural impact and the potential for progressive deterioration, removal is being sought as a preventative measure to avoid further damage. If consent is granted, the tree will be dismantled using appropriate arboricultural rigging techniques to ensure a controlled, safe, and professional removal with minimal impact on the surrounding area.
