Wellspring Apostolic Church, Belle Vue Shrewsbury SY3 7LX	End reduce by 20% lowest limbs overhanging roads of 1no Holm Oak protected by the Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council (Apostolic Church, Belle Vue Road) Tree Preservation Order 1989 (SA/177)	Objection

Application Notes:
The Town Council objects to this application as there are concerns the proposed reduction is excessive. The Oak is a landmark tree in the area with prominence in the street scene and provides considerable amenity value. There is public concern regarding the unnecessary cutting back. There would be a large visual impact if the tree were reduced by 20% not to mention significant impact on the wildlife within the tree. Members are happy for some of the lower branches to be removed for safety reasons, without any adverse effect on the amenity value in the area.
