The Old Rectory Walsham Road Finningham

0255/10Tree Preservation Order - Works RelatedApproved

Approved on 8 March 2010

Council decision: Granted

Proposal

I am looking to reduce the height of an oak (T16 - 295 2001) due to light restriction & the increasing threat of being a hazard to near buildings. The extent of the height reduction will be in keeping with the other oaks on the original old rectory boundary (T15, T11, T10, T9, T8, T7) which have been reduced in the last couple of years. This application was from my neighbour Mrs Appleby.
