Planning application
3 Highgate Kendal Road Kirkby Lonsdale CARNFORTH LA6 2GU
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
South Lakeland DC TPO No 278 2016 - Oak tree. Client has requested us to continue with the work pruning so there is no overhang over the neighbours garden. Also, requested to take back more growth over his own conservatory and reduce the height as pictured. The Owner would like more overhanging branches removing from above the conservatory due to falling branches potentially damaging the roof. He’s also like to reduce in height to even out the overall balance of the tree, firstly for aesthetic reasons and also for the overall health of the tree.
