26/0628/TTPO - Works to TPO trees Awaiting decision

Proposal

T1 - Field Maple - Felling and removal of the tree. Reason for Works - The tree is located in very close proximity to neighbouring buildings and has outgrown its current location. Its branches are overhanging the communal garden and neighbouring property at 14 Headford Close, Cambridge, CB5 8PQ. Pruning or crown reduction would not provide a suitable or permanent solution because the issue arises from the tree's unsuitable location, mature size, continued growth and close proximity to buildings, roofs, boiler pipes and services. Pruning would only offer temporary clearance and would not address the ongoing long-term risk of repeated interference with neighbouring property and nearby structures. Data via plota.co.uk
