Council planning record

T1 - Birch directly adjacent to house, remove to ground level. I recently provided a 211 notification to reduce this tree as per the applicant's request. However since then she had to renew her home insurance. She has previously had to make a subsidence claim and now the insurance company won't insure the property if 'there are any trees or shrubs in excess of 3m in height (regardless of ownership) within a 7m distance of the main structure'. As the Birch is in very close proximity to the house it requires removal so that the house can continue to be insured.
