Neighbours living in a conservation area in Nottingham are divided over plans to cut down trees which allegedly 'pose danger to public'. Tom Foskrett, the current owner of a listed-building Sneinton Vicarage on Windmill Lane, has submitted a planning application to chop back a number of trees at the property.
The 34-year-old who works in IT says he aims to rejuvenate the garden surrounding the seven bedroom historical building. While he said that any changes made to building itself are done sensitively, a number of trees could face the chop.
He added: "We tried to make this garden look nice, we rejuvenated it. Some trees are very old, some are self-seeded, some are chocked by ivy. A few of them simply do not go with the garden.
