Planning application

7 New Almshouses Lambourn Hungerford RG17 8AD

Granted West Berkshire 26/00856/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

Removal of a number of trees within the Almshouses grounds, including approximately 6 -7 x medium-sized Goat Willows, 3x Sycamore, 1x Ash and 1x Apple tree. These trees are considered unsuitable for the setting due to their vigorous growth and increasing dominance of the limited outdoor space, resulting in excessive shading and reduced usability for residents.

    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.
