Proposal

T1 Sycamore (x1) Reduce crown by 4m all around and remove epicormic growth. Note: The tree is not located within a Conservation Area and there are no Tree Preservation Orders covering trees at this address. The Local Planning Authority has therefore withdrawn the application because it has no statutory power to determine the proposed tree works. Data via plota.co.uk
