26/1416 - Conservation Area Tree Notification Approved

Proposal

Reduce the overall height and spread of the smaller eucalyptus tree (T1) by approximately 1?2 metres and reshape the crown to maintain an appropriate size and form for the garden. Reduce the overall height and spread of the larger eucalyptus tree (T2) by approximately 2?3 metres and reshape the crown to maintain an appropriate size and form for the garden. Reason for works: The smaller eucalyptus tree (T1) has grown substantially and is causing increased shading to the garden and property. The proposed works are intended to improve light levels and maintain the tree at a suitable size for its location. The larger eucalyptus tree (T2) is situated close to a boundary wall and has grown significantly in size. The proposed reduction is intended to manage the tree's size, reduce pressure on the surrounding area, and address concerns regarding its proximity to the wall, while retaining the tree as an important feature of the garden. All works will be carried out by a qualified tree surgeon in accordance with good arboricultural practice. Data via plota.co.uk
