26/0746/TC - Tree works in a Conservation Area Approved

Proposal

PROPOSAL ? DISMANTLE TO GROUND LEVEL AND TREAT STUMP OF 2 X EUCALYPTUS - located on the rear boundary with 55 (?) - they have grown significantly and is now posing a risk to our neighbours property as well as causing physical damage to the boundary fence, inappropriate for the setting and planted far too close to the fence and the properties. During winds, the trees have broken the fence and we are concerned that should either tree uproot (which Eucalyptus frequently do) it will land on the adjacent properties, the trees have limited amenity value due to its position in the rear garden and there are several mature trees in the vicinity. We would consider planting a more appropriate tree species in the garden if required. Data via plota.co.uk
