Council planning record

Council milestones and published deadlines. A deadline passing does not confirm a decision.
REAR: TWO: Leylandii Trees (T1, T2)(ht.11m & 12m) FELL.Reason: removal of these trees and replanting with a smaller species would better suit the space available. The leylandii do provide good screening, but crown reduction would leave a sparse canopy, unusual shape unlikely to foliage re-green. Replanting proposal: to plant one replacement tree (native species, approx.ht.2.5-3m) within the rear garden.Informative A: the replacement planting with a native tree is hugely supported, and additional planting is encouraged with a second tree and a mixed native species hedge to improve screening and maintain wildlife habitat at the end of the rear garden. Suggested tree species: strawberry tree, whitebeam, crab apple, hazel, holly, goat willow, spindle, common pear. Hedge shrubs: hawthorn, hazel, holly, alder buckthorn, wild privet. Informative B: please create habitat log piles with some arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
