Granted Three Rivers 25/0738/TCA Works to trees in a conservation area

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

T1 and T2 - Sycamores - Either side of sewage drain - roots have caused blockages on several occasions, and removal of the trees is the only way to properly repair drainage system, please see report attached. Remove both trees This work proceeding has been delayed considerably due to back and forth with insurance company. It is now a long time since drains were last cleared and client is anxious of another blockage and the chaos that causes. Appreciate this is not a five day notice works, but if anything can be done to reduce the usual 6 week notice, that would be much appreciated
