P262666/K - Works to Trees in a Conservation Area Valid

Proposal

Removal of a birch tree (T1). This tree appears to be in decline deu to the recent construction works near to the root zone and has sparse foliage. The owners wish for it to be removed to improve the views and movement within their garden. To reduce the north west side of another birch tree (T2). This tree has uneven crown distribution and would benefit from weight redution by reducing the north west side by 3m length and height reduction by 2m. Data via plota.co.uk

Natural England may need consulting, depending on what is proposed.
Sites of special scientific interest are the best wildlife and geological sites in the country. Development likely to harm one is rarely permitted.
