NOTICE OF INTENTION GIVEN TO FELL TREE WITHIN BRIGG CONSERVATION AREA

Another 'notice of intention' application to fell a tree in Brigg has been submitted to North Lincolnshire Council, the local planning authority.
The latest relates to a gingko biloba tree at The Gables, on Bigby Road.
It is also intended to 'crown reduce' a holly at the same address.
Both trees are within the Brigg Conservation Area.
A statement submitted to council planners explains the trees are close to houses and a busy footpath and suggests "the works need to be carried out as soon as possible."
The ginkgo has suffered a large amount of rot at the base and there is a sizeable crack forming between the two stems, the statement says.
Brigg Town Council's Planning & Environment Committee considered the proposed tree works at its latest meeting and supported the proposals.
North Lincolnshire Council is now considering the 'notice of intention'.
