DM/0362/26/TCA - Works to a tree in a Conservation Area Approved

Proposal

T1 - Yew Reduce height from 12m leaving it a height of 11m. Reduce overall lateral spread from 3.5m to 2.5m from the main stem cutting back to viable secondary growth points and following natural flowing lines. The Yew tree is a main feature of the front garden and is growing unevenly. A light reduction would keep it in check and be more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Data via plota.co.uk
