Planning application

Whinscar House 28 Leighton Beck Road MILNTHORPE LA7 7AX

Granted Westmorland and Furness 2025/2142/TCA Tree in Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

This is a very large cooking apple tree at the bottom of the garden which has not been pruned for many years. It is overgrown, dense and straggly and showers apples all over the driveway which we share with the Blackberry Hill properties. We wish to have the tree professionally pruned and reduced in size while it is dormant over the winter.

As published by the council, reference 2025/2142/TCA
