26/AP/1645 - Works to a Tree in a Conservation Area Approved

Proposal

Works to tree in a conservation area: T1 - Magnolia - reduce laterals and crown lift 4.7m in height. No reduction to height. Reduce laterals by 1.5m from 6m to 4.5m on the house side. Crown lift to 3m clearance. A semi-mature Magnolia growing in the rear garden of the property, positioned in close proximity to the rear elevation of the house. The crown has extended toward the building fabric on the house side. Lateral reduction of 1.5m will create clearance between the crown and the rear of the house, reducing the risk of contact with the building. Crown lifting to 3m will improve light levels to the garden and ground floor windows. Data via plota.co.uk
