Large willow reduction proposed at Barn Hall Rideaway

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The applicant proposes cutting a weeping willow back to earlier pruning points. This could reduce its height by 8 to 10 metres. The tree stands in Hemingfords' protected historic area and Flood Zone 2. Five nearby property fronts have a clear view, including one directly adjacent to the south. Most buildings within a couple of minutes' walk are screened from the site. St Margaret's Church is a few minutes' walk away.

What you can do

You can comment to the council using reference 26/00514/TRCA. Explain any effect on the tree or local appearance, but the council cannot consider property prices.
