Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
1 x Red Cedar and 1 x Scotch Pine. Remove to ground level. The roots of both trees have been causing damage to the boundary wall for a number of years and need to be removed so that the wall can be appropriately repaired.
