Planning application

Flat A 26 Craven Road Newbury RG14 5NE

Awaiting decision West Berkshire 25/02006/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

Apple tree: This is old and in poor condition - if it fell there would be considerable damage to adjacent properties. It dominates the tiny garden, and we wish to remove it to allow more light into the garden, so we can grow a wider range of plants. We will arrange to have it felled by an arborist once permission is granted.

As published by the council, reference 25/02006/TPC
