Works: Trees Small domestic
Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Tree Species: Conifer trees (T1 – T14 all closely positioned together) and a small mixed species hedge (H1) Works Requirement: Removal Reasons for removal: Overgrown to size too large for the location. A suitable reduction is not applicable and the trees are now encroaching into the gardens as well as neighbouring driveways posing a damage risk. The client is also looking to create an access fence in the area.

3 Rosevilla Farm Main Road Duston Northampton NN5 6JB
This notification is of the intent to fell and replace the horse chestnut tree T1 with a more appropriate species, and of the intent to prune the canopy of the lime tree T2 to reduce the encroachment over the property, to provide up to 1.5m clearance of the end elevation and the roofline and to prune the wider canopy to balance the tree’s overall appearance. At this location two notifications have been submitted (this one for felling and pruning, the second to be for pruning alone), one of which would be withdrawn, to allow the local planning authority the opportunity to influence the trees’ future.
