Orchard Cottage Church Street Limington Yeovil Somerset BA22 8EQApprovedNotification of intent to Fell No. 16 Trees and carry out Tree Surgery Works to No. 9 Trees within a Conservation Area. T1 to 10 - Leylandii and T11,12 & 25 - Hazel. These need to taken out completely. They have gone "wild" since the previous owner died in 2022 and when we moved in in late 2025. Also they are entwined with bramble and ivy from next door, Strangway Cottage. Maybe Red Robin and Hazel. I would like to re-plant the Hazel as there are a couple of Squirels in the garden. T13 & 14 - Leylandii. I'm not sure if these will stay or go! I need to see how the garden looks with the removal of other trees before a final decision is made. If we can say they are to be felled and I can cover one job with one application. Again, potentially replaced with Red Robins. T15 to 22 - Leylandii. These currently cover my "composting" area and these need to be just trimmed back. T 23 I think needs to be removed as this has again gone wild and towered to almost 40 feet tail! T 24 - Red Robin. This has again exploded in size of the past few years. I just need this bringing back under controll where I don't need the services of a tree surgeon to look after it. I already have a Conference Pear tree ready to be planted in the garden and would like further fruit trees and bushes too.Work to TreesReceived 21 Aug 2026Decided 3 Nov 202626/01984/TCA
Lucott Church Street Limington Yeovil Somerset BA22 8EQApprovedNotification of intent to Fell No. 15 Trees within a Conservation Area. Fell No. 15 Leylandii Trees (approx 15 ft in height) alongside the boundary fence of the property. These trees directly impact my most immediate neighbours (3 Church Street & The Old Post Office) with a significant reduction of light to the rear of their properties and gardens.They trees have a small canopy with many exposed branches, and it is very imbalanced, favouring one side. The trees are also encroaching onto the other plantings of trees and shrubs within the garden, including some fruit trees (Cherry, plum and apple trees).Received 3 Aug 2026Decided 1 Sep 202626/01800/TCA
