Planning application

Hockey Ground Trinity School Love Lane Shaw Newbury

Granted West Berkshire 26/00574/TPC Tree Works in Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

2 x lime trees - fell and apply herbicide to stump to prevent re-growth. Trees are causing damage to paving around the trees, causing a trip hazard in a high footfall area. Trees are planted too close to the Astro - further growth will cause an uneven surface to the playing area.

As published by the council, reference 26/00574/TPC
