Leckhampton House 37 Grange Road Cambridge Cambridgeshire CB3 9BJ
Approved on 19 January 2024
Council decision: Granted PermissionDelegated (officer decision)
Proposal
Map shows line of 11x Taxus baccata along garden boundary nearest to 9 Selwyn Gardens. I am seeking to reduce the height and spread of the trees by 4m, to coppice the trees. This is to allow light into the house at 9 Selwyn gardens, and reduce potential damage to roof & gutters during wind. The work was been carried out before 2020, so there is a visible line to cut to. I am seeking permission to repeat this work every 2 years from winter 23-24, until 2050.
