Summary

Three trees at the Historic Dockyard would be trimmed. One oak would be cut back beside the railway line. Two other trees would have lower branches removed above roads and a footpath.

The work would give more room for trains, lorries and people walking. It would also let more light reach one garden border. There is no stated change to nearby homes.

The council decides after the comment period. The application describes tree trimming, not work already built.
