Land Fronting Rothards The Tye East Hanningfield Chelmsford Essex

20/05530/CATTreesApproved

Approved on 23 April 2020

Proposal

2x weeping willows - cut back on a 3-5 year cycle, depending on growth, to prevent possible subsidence to the neighbouring property and to keep the growth clear of the nearby overhead cables. Tree A, (the tree to the south) following storm damage is unbalanced and needs to be pollarded at about 3-4m above ground level, so that it can grow back evenly. Tree B, (the tree to the north) thin back by 30-35% of branches (to previous pruning points) and cut back 1m from overhead cables.
