Works to two protected Lime Trees - Crown reduction of up to 3 metres and crown lift to 5.5 metres.

The property has an existing driveway and a standard single pedestrian footpath at the front. The proposed works involve lowering the existing kerbs to create a vehicle crossover, allowing vehicles to access the existing driveway from the highway. The front entrance and affected section of pavement will be re-levelled and re-tarmacked as required, leaving a safe, even and suitable surface for pedestrian access. No new driveway, buildings or streets are proposed, and the existing driveway layout will remain unchanged. All works will be carried out subject to the relevant highway authority's approval and requirements.

Retrospective change of use of the site to offices and ancillary storage of solar equipment, alterations and extensions comprising a single-storey infill extension, formation of first-floor office accommodation with increased roof height and addition of a dormer, staff breakout terrace, entrance canopy, replacement windows, doors and external finishes, replacement entrance gates, and associated parking, EV-charging and cycle-storage provision.
