Summary
The applicant wants to cut down six sycamores behind the college. Three larger sycamores would also be cut down or trimmed back near the boundary.
Removing these trees would change views from nearby homes and the college grounds. It would also reduce tree cover for birds and other wildlife. Some overhanging branches would be trimmed.
The council will decide after the comment period. The supplied details do not say that the work is already built or approved.
