Planning application
CBL House Colthrop Lane Thatcham RG19 4NT
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T1 - Horse Chestnut: To crown lift to approx. 5m to give greater clearance for machinery and high sided vehicles, removing secondary limbs only. Due to the size, age, location and condition of this tree, with visible decay pockets I would suggest a crown reduction of approx. 2m all around to form smaller compact crown to help prevent the risk of future major limb collapse. The approx finished height will be 14 metres.
