Planning application

Corn Baggers Back Street East Garston Hungerford RG17 7EX

Awaiting decision West Berkshire 25/01894/TPC Tree Works in Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Trees A,B,C and D are located within Corn Baggers on the river bank. Sycamore (A) - Fell. The tree is decaying with a substantial limb previously fallen across the river. Sycamore (B) - Fell. The tree is only 1.5m to (A) and covered in ivy. Both have experienced structural damage and should they fail will fall into/over the river onto the road endangering the public or will fall onto Corn Baggers, a Heritage Listed building. Ash (C +D) - Fell. C is showing signs of ash die back (many ash trees in East Garston affected), with a straggly reduced crown and brown dead leaves. This tree is c1m from the neighbouring sycamore (not subject to this application). Tree D, should it fail will fall into the river and neighbouring property or onto the greenhouse within the vegetable patch. Our neighbours also wish to see this tree removed. Oak (E + F). Remove lower overhanging branches. These trees are located within Jubilee Meadow, therefore owned by East Garston Parish Council. Their branches overhang Corn Baggers garden and in turn are affecting our trees within the orchard.
