Planning history
Planning history at 8 Castleview Close is exclusively tree-management applications — typical for a property with mature trees on or near the plot.
- Mar 2026Tree WorksTreesIn report
I would like to remove the tree of heaven as it is an invasive species and it is killing the other trees around it, in particular a crab apple tree behind the tree of heaven. The proposal is to cut the tree to a stump and then poison the roots so that the tree does not grow again. This will allow the crab apply tree (situated behind the tree of heaven) to grow properly. The tree of heaven (ailanthus tree) is the tree indicated in my sketch plan as the tree of heaven / tree to cut.

T1 - Ash in car park - Reduce the tree back to boundary line (3m from branch ends) to remove all overhang to gardens and reduce the entire tree by 2m from branch ends to make a more compact tree.
