Council planning record

Fell 3 Hollie trees (G1) down to ground level and remove stumps.These trees have grown on a raised bank which is now breaching the damp of the building. Any excavation would compromise the roots and structural integrity of the trees. Being previously cut to ground level has led to unnatural growth of one of the trees whilst the other two have excessive amounts of ivy stunting the development of the trees. We consider these trees to have a low amenity value whilst the arena is now only useful for litter to gather and rodents to nest. My client is open to the idea of replacing the trees with a suggested species once the excavation/ building work is complete ideally in a different location not next to the building.
