   Granted

   Notifiication of intent to remove a number of trees in the front garden. Removing two small silver birch trees close to the neighbouring property Springbank due to both light and proximity concerns. Removing a triple stemmed Ash, which breaks at ground level, at the front of the grassed area in the front garden, again size and proximity is of concern, plus its form doesn't allow it to be reduced in a way that would be beneficial to the trees overall health. To reduce the remaining three silver birch along the road boundary in the front garden by a third to natural growth points to allow more light in the front garden for future planting plans and general growth control.To remove the mature Silver birch tree on the corner of the driveway, again due to the size and concerns on the largest lateral limb that leans towards the neighbouring property, plus interference with the driveway itself.The client said that once the work has been done they hope to replant in the area to replace what has been taken out but in more suitable locations in relation to the surrounding properties.In the neighbouring property, Park Farm House, at the bottom of the driveway is a beech tree which the owners, Mr and Mrs George Yardy, have given their permission to have reduced pending application, to allow more light to Kingscleare specifically onto the solar panels on the roof of the house. I'm therefore applying to carry out the a suggested 25% thinning of the crown and light reduction to the height in keeping with the natural shape and growth points of the tree to allow for more sunlight to get to the panels.

Daytime road noise here sits well below conversation level — a quiet pocket of the postcode.
