Planning application
8 Montague Terrace Newbury RG14 7BZ
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T1 - Silver Birch: Reduce height by 6 metres, approximate FFH of 9m and around 6m wide. Remove all deadwood. - The maintenance requirements of the tree contribute towards an ever-increasing stressful quality of life. - The tree is in poor shape and is of little amenity value. - Works will encourage well balanced crown for future years. - The subject tree is interfering with the reasonable enjoyment of a large proportion of the rear garden.
