Summary
The owner of 396 Mawney Road has applied to remove a beech tree stump in their garden. The applicant states the stump is hollow and unstable and could fall in strong winds. The property is a detached house built between 1900 and 1929. The River Rom runs about a minute and a half's walk away. There are several schools a few minutes' walk away, including Crownfield Junior School and Crownfield Infant School. The tree has a protection order on it. Removing the stump would also end that protection. The impact on the street and nearby homes is expected to be small, as the site is well shielded by surrounding buildings.
