T/00009/26/TCA - Works to Trees - Conservation Areas Approved

Proposal

There are 6 semi mature Beech trees growing between the buildings know as Lower Farm Buildings and the main farm drive. The trees in question are around 20m tall and their branches are now touching, or close to touching the rooves of the buildings. There is also an electric cable running below the crowns on the building side of the main stems. It is proposed to prune / crown lift the trees to give a 2.5m clearance from the buildings and cable. Care will be taken to ensure that balance will be retained. Data via plota.co.uk
