Unknown26/00091/TREECA
The removal of 3 lime trees at the end of the small garden and roots ground, as they're too big and roots are too big in a small garden which I planted 20 years ago, concerned they're potentially going to the house, which tbc may potentially in the future have an extension to the back summer room. The garden will be redesigned with flowering borders and a smaller tree tbc. The garden backs onto a private lane which is road for the owners at the end of the drive which the public are unable to walk down or see the trees. The homes either side of the property are not local, the LHS 2nd home and RHS holiday let.
