Mature sycamore removal proposed at 22 Parkside

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The applicant proposes to remove one mature sycamore to ground level. The stump would be treated to stop it growing again. The applicant states that its roots are pushing a boundary wall out of line. The tree stands beside Emmanuel College grounds and a neighbouring property. Parkside Community College is directly adjacent, and ten protected old buildings stand about a 1-minute walk away. Five other mapped trees are nearby. Removing the tree could help prevent further pressure on the wall. It could also change the greenery and look of this historic part of town.

What you can do

You can comment to Cambridge City Council using reference 26/0280/TTCA. Explain any facts about the tree, wall, safety, or the area's appearance. The council cannot consider effects on property prices.
