Highfield House 15 Sutton Park Sutton Ely Cambridgeshire CB6 2RP
Proposal
T1 Cedar - Remove completely as the cones are emitting clouds of pollen, which have caused an allergic reaction in a family member, resulting in breathing difficulties. The branch with the cones overhangs the footpath, so passing pedestrians could be unknowingly affected/contaminated. The Cedar is viewed as unsuitable for a small domestic front garden; it is of poor form with surface roots spreading across the lawn. Have received and viewed advice that Cedar trees should be a minimum of 12m (40ft) from a dwelling. Replacement planting of a more suitable species, such as Rowan or Holly, is suggested that are more suitable for wildlife.
