PA26/0523Planning Application PA26/0523

As part of landscaping works in my back garden, I plan to remove the existing Yucca plant/tree. The tree is on the right hand side of the garden on the border with the lands of the estate, is solely in my property and does not impact on any other premises or land. Having spoken with my neighbor the Yucca was not part of the original housing development but was planted by one of the previous owners as a small Yucca plant which has subsequently grown into the larger plant/tree you can see in the attached photo and marked by the number 1 on the attached sketch plan. The plant/tree will be completely removed to make way for a new planting border that will contain a variety of new plants and also a small replacement tree for screening (likely to be a birch tree, standard or multi stem). See attached design document. The existing tree/plant is not protected but given that the diameter is over 7.5cm and the property is in a conversation area, I wanted to submit a planning application to ensure there are no issues or objections with the Yucca plant/tree being completely removed.
