Application Details
Description
T1 - T6: Yew Trees: Removal of trees located within five metres of the external walls of the property. The trees have grown too large for their location, being planted close together and within 5 m of the house and garage. They significantly reduce light into the property and garden, while branches quite often break off and fall, creating a safety concern. Their proximity also raises potential risk of subsidence, and their size makes ongoing maintenance impractical. To mitigate their removal, I propose to replant more suitable species, such as Amelanchier, Rowan, Crab Apple, Tibetan Cherry, and possibly Silver Birch, in positions further from the property to preserve the character of the conservation area.
