P2026/2283/TRE - Tree Works Notification in Conservation Area VALIDATED

Proposal

Tree 1 and Tree 2 – Fell both trees to near ground level due to their growth/root pressure causing movement and damage to the adjacent brick boundary wall. Following felling, treat the remaining stumps with an appropriate stump treatment to prevent regrowth. Both trees are located at the front of the property and are causing pressure and movement to the adjacent brick wall, resulting in structural damage. Removal is proposed to prevent further damage and allow the wall to be repaired or rebuilt safely. Data via plota.co.uk
