Application overview
Large Leylandii conifer (rear garden) - FellReason - Tree has grown excessively and is now negatively impacting the surrounding environment, including suppressing the growth of nearby native trees. The tree is approximately twice the height of our house and is highly visible from multiple viewpoints, including Waterbeach Recreation Ground, which adjoins our boundary.Due to its size, dominance, and lack of ecological or visual benefit, we believe its removal is justified and necessary to improve the overall health and balance of the garden and surrounding area.
