26/0943/CAT - Works to Trees in a Conservation Area Pending Consideration

Proposal

T1 Holly Raise crown by circa 1m The crown is currently trailing over the roof of the cars that park below it and partially obstructing the pavement of Cathedral Close. To protect the pedestrians, vehicles and the health of the tree, we propose to raise the crown by circa 1m. T3 Magnolia Remove dead limbs and branches Roughly 60-70% of the tree appears dead and has done so for the last 2 years. We would like to remove the dead limbs and branches to provide space for the remaining portion of the tree to flourish. T5 Pittosporum Remove growth at the base. Raise crown by 1m To maintain the health of the tree and provide access to the new vets practice, we would like to cut back the growth at the base of the tree and raise the crown by 1m. T7 Turkey Oak Remove The turkey oak is growing in an unsuitable location very close to the building and needs to be removed. T8 Unknown multi-stemmed bush Cut back 1m in line with grass and reduce height by circa 1m to shape To maintain the proportions of the formal lawn we would like to cut back this bush and shape it.
