Council decision: Have No Objection ToDelegated (officer decision)

Proposal

T1 - Weeping Willow - Crown reduction of approximately 3 metres, pruning back to previously established pruning points. Reason for Works - The tree has become excessively over-extended since its last pruning cycle and is now impeding the adjacent public footpath, reducing pedestrian clearance and visibility. In addition, the current crown spread is significantly restricting light into the neighbouring public house garden, adversely affecting its use and amenity value.
