Approved on 7 December 2022
Council decision: No objectionsDelegated (officer decision)
Proposal
T8 Sweet Chestnut - this has grown into a tall tree and some of its branches overhang East Ayton School buildings and playground. Some branches and foliage have fallen onto the roof of a wooden building and surrounding area. T12 Sweet Chestnut - this is adjacent to a private house and its branches have grown to touch the premises and brickwork. Both trees were subject to a professional inspection and report by Mark Feather on 15 May 2020 when both trees were reported as healthy. Proposed action would be to cut back overhanging branches to property on both trees.
