A tree work
application, 17/412/TTPO, was received proposing the
removal and replacement of an Ash tree located in
the rear garden of 24 High Street, Trumpington. The application was made because
the tree is considered to be too close to the property and is too tall and full
of ivy to effectively manage.
The Committee
received an application for the removal of the tree subjection to conditions
requiring replacement planting.
The Committee received a representation in objection to the application
from a resident of Trumpington who made the following comments:
i.
The tree is in the grounds of an important house of
historical interest.
ii.
The property was built on the site of an old orchard.
iii.
The Ash tree is very visible from the street.
iv.
The tree provided wildlife habitat to support the
biodiversity of the area.
v.
The tree was in need of care and attention but
could live for many more years.
vi.
Removal would be detrimental to the area and to
other trees.
The Committee:
Resolved (by 8
votes to 1) to accept the
officer recommendation and grant permission to fell
the tree that was the subject of the application subject to conditions
requiring replacement planting.
