  3. Decision MadeP23/S2434/TCA

    Walnut tree in rear garden of Walnut Cottage. This tree had a crown reduction in June 2019 and it is now regrown sufficiently that a reduction is required again. (1.5m all round). A reduction in the crown is desirable to us as occupants of the house due to the significant shade the tree casts upon the garden and the light it blocks from the rooms at the rear of the property. A tree surgeon, who recently re pollarded the Ash and Sycamore trees in the rear garden (permission granted previously) agreed upon inspection of the Walnut that it was due another crown reduction.
