Summary
The applicant proposes removing three low oak branches over a hedge. One small secondary branch would also be removed. All the work would be on the south side of the tree.
The tree stands in the West Cambridge protected historic area. Trinity College is directly adjacent, while Robinson College is about a 1-minute walk away. Two property fronts to the north and west have a direct view of the site.
The work could make a small change to the tree's shape and nearby views. Most surrounding properties are screened by buildings.
The council's wording below is the official record. This summary was made automatically from the council's notice.
