SDNP/26/03890/TCA - Tree in a Conservation Area Application in Progress

Proposal

Cherry tree (T2)- Overstood tree with over extended limbs resulting in an oversized and unbalanced canopy. To carry out a light crown reduction and thinning to balance the crown and minimise stress on unions. Bay tree (T1) - Overstood for the area and encroaching on the dwelling. Remove the Bay tree as it is too large for the area with possible future structural damage due to root and crown growth. Data via plota.co.uk
