Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1, Conifer: Fell to monolith at approximately 1m to reduce excessive shading and oversized canopy, retaining standing deadwood for biodiversity in line with BS3998:2010. T2, Cherry: Remove declining limb to mitigate failure risk and sever ivy at base to reduce wind-sail loading and allow inspection of main stem, prolonging the tree's safe useful life
