Oak - reduce branch length by 3.5m where the canopy oversails the garden. Works requested to reduce canopy to a size more suitable for the location in a domestic garden, given proximity to the dwelling and garage and extent of shading and loss of sunlight to the garden which is considered excessive. Over the last 25 years the tree canopy has grown substantially such that it now covers 2/3 of the garden and at the current rate will cover the entire garden very soon. Appropriate tree pruning and sympathetic pruning is required and should be at no detriment to the tree. See attached professional report for more details (note works to yew carried out under a different application arranged by neighbour).

Erection of 3no. dwellings and associated works, following demolition of existing dwelling and garage, removal and replacement of trees, and alternations to boundary treatments.

Certificate of Lawful Development for the proposed conversion of part of the existing garage and floor above to ancillary residential use that is incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse known as Cherry Tree Court, 1 Ham Lane, Kingston Seymour, BS21 6XE, along with associated internal and external alterations.
