Dear Sir,

 

Towards the end of Sea Mills Lane (no. 79), near the Portway, there is a large Deodar Cedar tree which has stood there for generations. Application was recently made to Bristol City Council for permission to fell the tree, but this was refused. An appeal has now been lodged against that refusal. If, like us, you consider it would be appalling for the appeal to succeed, may we invite you to make representations accordingly. We appreciate that this site is strictly just outside the Sea Mills area, but the tree is of course vsisble from many houses in Sea Mills itself and does form a part of the local scenery. If you feel however that this issue does not form part of your remit, then we apologise for troubling you.

 

If you do wish to make any representations, then have to be sent to The Government Office for the South West, 1st Floor, 2 Rivergate, Temple Quay, Bristol BS1 6ED. The reference no. for the appeal is SW/THM/8147/783 and the closing date is 26th May.

 

Yours faithfully,

Peter & Katie Wilkinson

79A Sea Mills Lane, BS9 1DR.
