Council sourceRemoval of a line of conifers, of varying sizes, along the boundary line between 2 Heather Avenue RM1 4SL and Shell Rise Park (Petrol Station) RM1 4SJ. The conifers are located just on the side of the petrol garage, yet overhang the boundary so encroach into 2 Heather Avenue. The conifers are not only dilapidated, unsightly and un-maintained, but they also block out light to both parties. They have also been hacked at down one side, exposing the trunk and brown dead wood, which will not grow back. The conifers are also preventing the construction of a new dwellinghouse that is proposed to the side garden of 2 Heather Avenue, as it is due to be built right up to the boundary. The proposed new dwellinghouse is called 2A Heather Avenue RM1 4SL, and the approved planning permission drawings are submitted as part of this TPO Consent Application, for thoroughness. The conifers that are to be removed total 18m in linear length, and the conifers to be removed are indicated in red on drawing ref TPO001. Any screening that is provided by the conifers will be replaced by the proposed new dwellinghouse structure. The 2m high fence to the boundary will also be retained.
