Summary
The application is to fell a dead Ash tree standing centrally along the southern boundary of a property in East Cholderton. The tree sits within the East Cholderton Conservation Area. Two Grade II listed buildings — Old Farm Cottage and Meadowside — are about a 1-minute walk away. Around 65 other properties are within a few minutes' walk of the site. Because the tree is dead, the immediate risk to neighbours is limited. However, even dead trees can form part of the historic character of a conservation area. The council has already approved the removal.
