26/00597/TRECON - Trees in Conservation Areas Approved

Proposal

I'm seeking permission From Gloucester City Council to trim back approximately 3 Branches from the tree in the picture.It is believed that there is no TPO on this tree but it is in a conservation area so a TPO has to be filled out as it's protected. This is to allow us to change the lantern on the streetlight as it is currently not working. Data via plota.co.uk
