• S25/0133 Willoughby House, 17 East End – fell ash tree Response submitted: Langtoft Parish Council have considered this application and whilst we appreciate that the applicant may be concerned about possible failure of the tree causing damage to his and the neighbouring property, we feel that as this is a mature Ash tree felling should not take place unless an arboriculturist has prepared a report suggesting that that would be the only course of action. Therefore until such a report is prepared we would wish to oppose this application.
