26/02617/TCONR - Works to trees in conservation areas Awaiting decision

Proposal

Acacia tree in the rear garden. It is the only large tree in the rear garden. It is severely overgrown, and starting to cover a neighbours roof.. Last pruned in 2019. I want to get permission sorted out so we can have the tree pruned during the winter. Data via plota.co.uk
