26/01697/TCA - Approval for works to trees in CA Approved

Proposal

FRONT GARDEN: T1 Common Beech. FELL TO GROUND LEVEL. Council Note: The notifier describes T1 as dead but has submitted the proposed felling through the six week Section 211 notification procedure rather than relying on an exemption. The Council has therefore considered the works as notified and raises no objection. Data via plota.co.uk
