Summary
The applicant wants to trim a willow beside the farmhouse at Anvil Green Farm. The work includes removing damaged branches and shortening the tree. Some branches would be cut back from the house and telephone cables.
The tree would become shorter and narrower. Its lower and inner growth would remain where possible. Neighbours may see more sky around the tree, but little change otherwise.
The council will decide after the comment period. The application does not say the work is already built or approved.
