Application Date:
2020-05-13
Application Notes:
The Town Council objects to this application on the grounds that a mature tree within the Harlescott Conservation Area will be lost and will have a detrimental impact within the Harlescott Grange Recreation Ground which provides residents with visual green amenity. Conservation of trees in this area is extremely important in order to conserve vistas. Members respectfully request that Shropshire Council's Tree Officer visits the site and provides expert assessment and recommendations on the need to fell such an established tree and provide assistance with a suitable replacement. The Town Council has an interest in this application as it also forms part of the boundary between the applicant’s property and The Kynaston Road playing field. It is situated between the security fence installed by the Town Council three years ago on Town Council land and the property boundary.
