Proposal

Tall old fir tree to be felled. Reason is because 1 m proximity to the outbuilding, significant lean towards the outbuilding and Cedars Avenue pedestrian path. Also a concern being so close to the Uxbridge Road. Tree Surgeon had suggested lifting the tree away from the building and reducing the height but that would not give the tree little amenity value. Applicant has agree to plant a more appropriate garden tree away from the roads and fence lines to replace the Cypress.
