Felling of an apple tree located close to the boundary of a residential garden in a conservation area.

Full Proposal

T1 Apple tree: Fell to ground level The tree is positioned within close proximity to the dwelling and directly adjacent to the boundary, making long term management increasingly constrained and impractical. Although relatively small in stature at under 5m in height, the crown is now contributing to ongoing encroachment and is unsuitable for the limited space available. Removal is considered reasonable arboricultural management in order to prevent future maintenance pressures and improve the usability and relationship of the garden space with the adjacent property and boundary (Town Centre Conservation Area).
