Summary
The applicant is seeking permission to pollard three trees at Williams Court, Burton Street. A sycamore (T1) would be cut back to 6 metres, and two lime trees (T2 and T3) to 4.5 and 5.5 metres respectively. The applicant says the trees are currently in good health but have grown large enough to limit daylight reaching homes on Back Lane. The work is described as preventative, with concern that the trees could fall and cause damage during a storm. Pollarding is a routine technique where a tree is cut back to a set height. The trees would be expected to re-grow after the work is done.
