Planning application
1 Spinney Drive Northampton NN4 0NG
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T1 Acer 2 low branches to be removed on the house side, as within 1m of the house roof, allowing rodents access to the loft of the property. No adequate growth points to reduce to so recommend removal which will not unbalance the tree. Remove a lower limb on the church side as it is outside of the crown formation.
