6 Tydemans Court Stowmarket Suffolk IP14 1HS

1. 1.The trees subject to the application are large prominent specimens that contribute to the character and amenity of the local area. The application to fell and significantly reduce the trees is not accompanied by any arboricultural reasoning to support such work. Although it is possible the trees could survive heavy pruning, they would suffer a significant loss of foliage bearing capacity that would affect their health and combined with the felling have a detrimental impact upon local amenity. Therefore, the council considers the proposal is unwarranted and without adequate justification. It should be noted that lesser works such as more sensitive crown reductions, as discussed prior to this proposal, are likely to be accepted by the council, subject to an application.
