Approved on 6 September 2025

Council decision: PermittedDelegated (officer decision)

Proposal

T189 - Monterey Pine. Remove broken branch, cut back long low westerly limb by approximately 3-4m to upright growth point, diameter of cut approximately 100mm T233-T237 - Lime. Crown lift to give 3m clearance over car parking, maximum diameter of cut 25mm T264 - Lime. Cut back to give 2m clearance off building. Justification: T189 has a broken branch in crown which needs removing on safety grounds and there's a long, etiolated limb overhanging highway, this needs shortening to reduce risk of this limb failing onto the highway. Trees 233-237 have low branches overhanging car parking that need removing to facilitate car parking T264 has branches resting on building and they need pruning back to give sufficient clearance
