DM/0541/26/TCA - Works to a tree in a Conservation Area Approved

Proposal

Scots Pine tree rooted in my property but, hanging over the next door neighbours bungalow roof and touching the tiles of the neighbours property. I have witnessed it over the past 12 years getting closer to the neighbours roof indicating some ground movement at the tree root area. To take the crown off the tree and clear the neighbours property from danger would leave only the extended trunk of the pine remaining so, my application is to remove the tree leaving a 3 foot stump in the grounds of my property.
