Summary
The application proposes works to four trees on land at Hatherley Lane. Three English Yews would have their crowns reduced in height and spread by up to 2.5 metres, with branches cut back to the boundary line. One English Oak would be cut back to a pollard form, reducing it to 8 metres in height. The site is in a residential area close to several primary schools. St Mark's Church of England Junior School is right next door, and Benhall Infant School is a couple of minutes' walk away. Around 12 nearby properties have a direct view of the site. The trees are protected under a Tree Preservation Order, which means the council must approve any works before they go ahead.
