26/00545/TRE - Work to tree within Conservation area Approved

Proposal

Laburnum (L1) and Laburnum (L2) - felling both trees (which are so close together as to appear as a single tree) for multiple reasons: - 3 small children (under 3 years old) live at the property, to which the toxic laburnums and their flowers pose a serious hazard. - The laburnums are blocking installation of a fence, the lack of which also poses a risk to the children playing safely in the garden. - L2 is leaning and could pose a falling hazard… Data via plota.co.uk
