Description

T1 Yew Tree (Taaxus Baccata). We are requesting permission to remove. located within the conservation area in Didmarton, along The Street. The tree has grown substantially and has become problematic for several reasons: 1. Proximity to Building: The tree is too close to the building, posing a risk to the foundation and structure due to its root system. 2. Damage to Stone Wall: The roots and trunk are exerting pressure on the adjacent stone wall, threatening its integrity and character. 3. Safety Concerns: The tree's height and rapid growth pose safety hazards, especially in adverse weather conditions. 4. Unsuitable Species: Leylandii is ill-suited to this location due to its growth patterns and eventual size. Conclusion: Removing the Yew tree is necessary to protect the building and wall, ensure safety, and maintain the conservation area's historical value
