Pruning and pollarding of two trees in a protected historic area in Cheltenham

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

This application proposes work on two trees at a property in Cheltenham. The first tree, a Eucalyptus, would have dead limbs removed and be pruned to improve its shape. The second tree, a Hawthorn, would be pollarded — cut back hard to previous pruning points. The property sits within a protected historic area of Cheltenham, and is close to Pittville Park, a registered historic park and garden. Dunalley Primary School is right next door, about 24 metres away. Tree works in a protected historic area may affect the look and feel of the neighbourhood. The council will consider whether the proposed works are appropriate given the historic setting.
