TW/26/1056 - Tree Works in a Conservation Area Approved

Proposal

The large Sycamore in my back garden is blocking a considerable amount of light and is far too big for its location. The tree is currently as tall as the house, and its girth is almost the width of the area it occupies. Its position was not taken into consideration when it was planted. I would like to have this tree felled to let in light and see the view beyond. Data via plota.co.uk
