26/01188/TPC - Tree In A Conservation Area Approved

Proposal

submitted as 26/01181/TPO. I am applying to get permission to trim (Crown Reduction) of two Yew trees which are inside the boundary of my house back garden. The tree branches now protrude over the back garden too much. About 1 meter needs to be reduced and the tree shape maintained. The work will be done by a tree surgeon. Data via plota.co.uk
