26/01674/TWCA - Tree Work In Conservation Area Registered

Proposal

Tree 1, Mature Conifer. Located midway along southern boundary, to rear of property. We would wish to sectional fell the tree to ground level. This done to prioritise more valued tree specimens currently being over grown by T1, amongst others some Weeping Birch forming structured archway to rear portion of garden. The tree has also reached a size that the lower crown is shading lawns and borders, limiting planting of more favoured shrubs and plants. The tree is growing hard against the boundary wall, the owner has concerns about future damage to the wall caused by the tree. What was once a pleasant addition has become too large for its position and use in the garden. Data via plota.co.uk
