Summary
The application proposes removing one mature sycamore at 22 Parkside. The stump would be treated to stop it growing again. The applicant states that its roots are pushing a boundary wall out of line. The tree stands directly adjacent to Parkside Community College and beside Emmanuel College grounds. It is within The Kite, a protected historic area, with several protected old buildings nearby. Only nine property fronts within a couple of minutes' walk have a direct view of the site. The removal could change a small part of the area's greenery, while possibly reducing pressure on the wall.

You can comment to Cambridge City Council using reference 26/0280/TTCA. Explain any evidence about the tree, wall safety, nearby protected buildings, or effects on neighbours. The council cannot consider effects on property prices.
