Large walnut removal and birch reduction proposed at Broughton Place

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The applicant proposes to remove a large walnut tree. A large Himalayan birch would also be cut back by one quarter, reducing its height by about the length of a small car. The site is in a historic part of Edinburgh. Eight mapped trees stand directly adjacent, while Broughton Place Hair and Beauty is immediately beside the site. About 111 property fronts have a clear view towards the site, mainly to the east and north-east. Most other nearby property fronts are screened by buildings, although back gardens and windows may still have views.
