26 Leah Manning Close Cambridge Cambridgeshire CB1 3FR

Proposal

The numbers are T3, T4 and T5 on the Order No. TPO/05/2023. All the trees at the rear of the house 26 Leah Manning Close have branches and twigs growing towards the house over the patio area. Those branches and twigs over the patio area, pruning is needed quite frequently. The trees are over 10 meters high and their main trunks grew tilted towards the house. The bottom of the trees distanced less than 5 meters to the house and branches spread close to the roof, wall and windows of the house. - Pruning and topping cannot fix the problem in long term since the tilted trees grow over towards the house, causing potential damages to the house and danger to the house users, as high parts of plants including fruits and twigs stuck the rear and even the front gutters (i.e. the far side) of the house very soon, while big branches fell occasionally and damaged facilities beneath the trees and endanger the house users. The said three trees are proposed to be fell and replaced by new ones of shorter and less spread species upon maturity to provide sufficient clearance to the house and safety to the house users. Cherry trees will be planted as they are suitable for the environment and commonly planted in the UK.
