Request granted for tree maintenance
A request to prune an ash tree located in the rear garden of 3 Church Place South, Penarth, has been approved.
The tree has been identified as overgrown for its confined residential setting but retains high amenity value.
It was previously pollarded to address early-stage Ash Dieback.
The new application seeks to maintain the tree at a suitable size for its location.
The council found the proposed works to be routine maintenance and said they would not compromise the tree’s long-term health or visual contribution to the area.
Permission has been granted on the condition that the work is completed within two years of the approval date.
Home improvements approved
Plans have been approved for a range of home improvements at 17 Craven Walk, Penarth, including a loft conversion with a rear dormer, a single-storey rear extension, and the installation of solar panels.
A detached garage will also be converted into a gym and there will be internal remodelling and altering to windows.
The dormer would measure 10 metres wide, 2.7 metres high and 3.45 metres deep. The dormer would be finished with matching hanging slates to the original property and would have three windows to the rear.
The rear extension would measure 1.4m deep, five metres wide, and 2.75 metres height to the flat roof.
Work must be carried out in line with the approved plans and be started within five years of the approval date.
Biodiversity enhancement measures must be put in place prior to the first beneficial use of the development and be maintained.
