Planning application
Hillcrest 1 Back Lane Northampton NN4 6BX
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1 magnolia, requires crown thin and minor reduction (~1m) which is around 15% of the overall crown as it has recovered and thrived since previous reduction was carried out. T2 Japanese Acer has been pruned to create more of a hedge than a tree and client would like it simply reshaping in the same style. It will be a slight reduction of at maximum 30cm.
