Planning application

7 Sherrardmead Shaw Newbury RG14 2DF

Awaiting decision West Berkshire 25/01986/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

G1 - 2x Poplar, 1x Sycamore (located on river bank) - fell to as near ground level as possible. This is due to all 3 trees to be located on a river bank with a slight lean towards neighbouring properties. G2 - 15-20x Willows (located on river bank) - Pollard all trees to approximately 2-2.5m from ground level. This is due to them no encroaching on neighbouring properties.

As published by the council, reference 25/01986/TPC

    T1 - Lime: Inside Car Park Area. Re-pollard to old points. The proposed works would not reduce the amenity value of the tree and will allow sustainable tree management in the long term. The works are part of a regular maintenance program to retain the tree at a suitable size of its location.
