Application overview
To fell 5 no Cypress trees in rear garden of Westfield Cottage. The trees are causing serious shading issues to Westfield Cottage & other neighbouring properties. Also, causing serious issues with blocked gutters & drainpipes in the immediate adjacent properties, namely: The Smithy, The Workshops & The Blacksmiths. All owners have requested trees to be felled. The 5 no Cypress trees will be felled by a qualified arborist - Ecotrees of Sheffield. The Cypress trees are of low amenity value, are non-native and wholly inappropriate in a conservation area in the town of Bakewell, in the heart of the Peak District National Park. Once felled, the trees will be replaced with a native species hedgerow which will be maintained to a heigh of circa 2 metres once established. This will be of greater ecological benefit.
