26/01415/PWC - Works to trees in Conservation Areas Approved

Proposal

T1 conifer group - conifers have outgrown position and are now poor specimens. They have multiple co dominant stems and are suppressing the growth of the mature broadleaf trees which are a key feature in the area. Removal of the conifers will allow the trees at the back to be seen and allow more suitable planting. Data via plota.co.uk
