PA26/3408 - Works to Tree/s in Conservation Area Recommendation under review

Proposal

Front Garden T1 - Walnut Reduce the crown sensitively, by removal of up to 1m in branch length where required to balance the crown and reduce the sail effect. Cut back the lower crown over the parking area to abate encroachment to parked cars. • T1 Walnut is located in the front garden of the property encroaching from the parking area onto the footway. • The works are part of a regular maintenance program to retain the tree at a suitable size for its location. • The works will reduce the encroachment to the footway whilst encouraging a well-balanced crown for years to come.
