Flat 2 Hill House Trinity Close Ashby De La Zouch Leicestershire LE65 2GT

23/01017/TCOMCounty TreeApproved

Approved on 3 August 2023

Council decision: No objection

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

Proposal

Mature Blue Cedar to the front of Hill House has three branches running horizontally at a height of about 3.5m. They are seeking light but will not find it in the direction they are growing. Sometime soon they will become unstable and the weight of snow or rain on the foliage at the end they will break. There is evidence of this on older branch stubs and it is not uncommon for this type of tree. It is proposed to remove them completely back to the trunk as they will not regrow. In addition, behind the cedar are mature Yew trees. Some of their branches are beginning to overhang and crowd out an ornamental feature fountain. It is proposed to prune back a few of these branches by 1-2m. They are large and very vigorous trees and so will not suffer because of the pruning. (2023/TPO/0077/LCC)
