26/1087/TTPO - Works to TPO trees Awaiting decision

Proposal

We seek Tree Works permission to hand dig a hole at the new location to re-connect a 110mm diameter pipe to the same combined-use drain 0.8m from the West wall of the house at a depth of approximately 1.15m. The hole will be hand dug by expert ground workers who will follow all guidelines for digging within a root protection area. The pipe route can be altered to avoid any roots 25mm in diameter or larger. Data via plota.co.uk
