26/22046/TCA - Tree in a Conservation Area Pending Decision

Proposal

Removal of tree. It has become inappropriate for the size and location of our garden. It also has an aphid infestation which results in significant quantities of honeydew. This sticky substance falls onto our garden and outdoor surfaces, creating an ongoing nuisance. We are committed to replacing the tree following its removal. We will plant a more appropriate species and size of tree in a suitable location within the garden Data via plota.co.uk
