The Proposed removal of 3 trees and small group have been rated low value by suitably qualified arboricultural officers during the previous application for a dwelling. The proposed garage has been position in such a away that the Higher rated B Class trees Indicated in Blue, are to be left undisturbed by the

proposed works. Consultations have been held with DEFA and the given the dramatic improvement in terms of proposed tree loss when compared to the previous application, we feel there has been able to resolve the issues relating to their previous objection to development of the land.
