Works: Trees

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

Proposal

T1 - Yew - Remove, due to its proximity to office buildings causing difficulties in accessing rear carpark. The tree has suffered from Ivy entanglement and lacks growth on one side. If required replace with smaller more appropriate tree to the rear of the car parking area.
