Address	Proposal	Shrewsbury Town Council Decision
Car Park St Julians Crescent Shrewsbury Shropshire SY1 1UD	Fell 1no Tree (See Plan) within Shrewsbury Conservation Area	No Objection
Application Date:
2021-05-02
Application Notes:
The Town Council objects to this application. Members don’t believe the reasons stated for removal are good enough reasons to fell this tree which is located within the Conservation Area. The tree can be viewed from various locations and adds to the street scene. Members respectfully request that Shropshire Council's Tree Officer visits the site and provides expert assessment and recommendations. The Town Council had received notification from Shropshire Council stating that a number of comments had been received for this application, including objections. Due to them being unable to reach an agreement about where replacement planting could go to mitigate for the loss of the tree, the Shropshire Council Tree Officer requested that the current application be amended to prune only. The amendment to this current application which the agent has now agreed to is: ‘Crown reduce Sycamore back to previous pruning points to achieve an overall crown reduction whilst leaving a balanced crown profile (See Plan) within Shrewsbury Conservation Area (Amended 11/06/21)’ Members were pleased with the amendment to this application and are happy to remove their original objection on the basis of the amendment.
