Churchill College Storeys Way Cambridge Cambridgeshire CB3 0DS
Proposal
Quercus robur tree tag number 64 - Crown lift the tree to 2m on the North, South and West side. This is to allow light and access to cut the hedge below. Crown lift the tree to 3.5m on the East side where it overhangs the College emergency fire road. This is to protect the tree from damage from the large amounts of construction traffic coming onto site for the refurbishment projects currently running and for the future if a fire engine attends site.
