26/0634/TTCA - Works to CA trees Awaiting decision

Proposal

T.1 Cherry - Fell to ground level and remove stump to facilitate a new landscape design scheme. The tree has outgrown the available space within the small rear garden and is now the dominant feature of the area. In conjunction with the surrounding mature Lime trees in the church, it contributes significantly to shading, reducing natural light levels to the garden and rear of the property. Removal of the Cherry tree will improve light penetration, enhance the usability of the garden space, and allow for the implementation of the proposed landscaping design. T.2 Yew - Reduce the lower lateral spread by up to 4 metres back to the boundary line. The tree is owned by Fowlmere Church - The lower canopy is causing excessive shading to the rear garden and interfering with the use of the children's play equipment. The proposed reduction will improve light levels, increase usable garden space, and provide suitable clearance from the boundary whilst retaining the tree. T.3 Lime - Reduce the lower lateral spread by up to 4 metres back to the boundary line. The tree is owned by Fowlmere Church. The lower canopy is causing excessive shading to the rear garden and interfering with the use of the children's play equipment. The proposed reduction will improve light levels, increase usable garden space, and provide suitable clearance from the boundary whilst retaining the tree. Data via plota.co.uk
