  10. Awaiting decision2021/0008/TPO

    Fell Trees that are in dotted areaThe trees closest to the road that I have been informed are willow and Lime trees keep being damaged by high sided vehicles and are now also touching our property which we feel in time may cause damage and damp to our property and even possible subsidence with the roots.After buying land 5 meters from our boundary wall, we would like to fence and clear the land and secure it with a gate at the entrance On the line drawing there are 2 trees that 30cm in diameter 1 is approximately 250mmm the rest are no more than 150mm these are in the shaded area, and these are the trees that we would like to fell. (6 in total)This entrance would then give us access onto the land as at present there is no other access for machinery to clear the brambles and weeds on the land and to also fence our border.Eventually we are planning to build a drive so that we can drive cars on and off safely rather than having to reverse off are onto a very busy main road,
