Council decision: Tree Work in Conservation Area approvedDelegated (officer decision)

Approximate location: the centre of the postcode, not the exact property.

Proposal

Lateral reduction of the overhanging foliage to the boundary line. All pruning to be in accordance with BS3998:2010 with no pruning wounds in excess of 50mm diameter of 1 no. Elm tree within Masham Conservation Area. Fell due to proximity to building, excessively leaning towards the house, excessively shading the garden (proximity to house main concern). Due to the lean and the long leggy structure of these trees there is a lack of joints to properly reduce back to joints for clearance (which I would normally apply for in this case). We feel that As there is 2 more mature tree of the same variety behind, which is perfectly shaped and continues the amenity value. (NB we are only applying to remove the small tree closest to 29 Oaks, not the two larger mature trees behind).
