A tree felling and pruning application within the Brigg Conservation Area has now been decided by North Lincolnshire Council planners.
Consent has been given to fell a pear tree and prune a group of holly and a Robinia tree at The Gables, a domestic property on Bigby Road near the A1084.
Having received a Notice of Intention for these works, the council prepared an assessment report which advised against making a Tree Preservation Order (TP0) in this case.
"These trees are situated within the rear garden of the property and cannot be seen within the street scene or wider landscape," the report concluded. "It is therefore considered that they do not have high visual amenity in this area and therefore are not worthy of being made subject to a TPO."
The proposal was publicised and no objections were lodged with North Lincolnshire Council.
