66 Long Ashton Road Long Ashton North Somerset BS41 9LE
Permission is being sought to remove six beech trees in the rear garden of 66 Long Ashton Road. The trees are beech trees and approximately 12 feet in height. Unfortunately the trees have been planted at the garden boundary where the roots are applying excessive pressure to a retaining wall. This would have originally been a hedge which has been left to grow. A structural survey of the wall has confirmed that the wall is at risk of collapse due to the trees and is putting a neighbouring property at risk on Wells Close. Urgent repair work to the wall is required and due to the position of the trees they can't be retained.
