Proposal
Proposed works to Lime (T8) and Lime (T9) - fell as they are causing the curved retaining wall at the South West corner of the boundary to lean out into the road. Once felled, the area will be landscaped to reduce the pressure on the wall, the damage to the wall will be repaired, and three new lime trees will be planted. An earlier application rejected the felling of these trees, but permitted the felling of a third lime (T10). Since then, the condition of the wall by trees T8 and T9 has continued to worsen, with the cracks continuingto propagate.
