26/00958/TCA - Approval for works to trees in CA Approved

Proposal

REAR GARDEN : T1 Oak (ht.10m) FELL. Reason: excessive shading to garden, property, and adjacent trees resulting in reduced light levels and suppressed growth; significant annual leaf and twig fall causing ongoing maintenance burden and detrimental impact to the use and condition of small gardens (including multiple neighbouring properties' gardens). Replant with ONE Prunus avium 'Sunburst' on Colt rootstock that will be nursery grown, approximately 1.5m tall at planting, expected final height 6m. Data via plota.co.uk
