Developer reveals plans to cut back trees for new 550-house estate in Kenilworth
Nearly 20 trees could be cut back to make space for a 550-house estate being built in Kenilworth.
Charles Church has recently put the first plots on its Kenilworth Gate development on the market, having been given full planning permission for the first 92 houses and outline for the remaining 442 in December 2021.
But the developer has also submitted an application to Warwick District Council for various tree works at the Leamington Road site to make space for the new houses.
Despite only owning 10 of them, the developer has asked for permission to raise the crowns, remove deadwood and cut back up to 19 trees along the perimeter of the site.
Most of the works will be to make space for new fences to be built and to make room for access to the site.
In September Warwickshire County Council signed off on a £3 million budget for four new junctions at the estate.
And the developer has already come under fire from town councillors who last year criticised the 'complete mess' of trees and hedgerows being removed along Leamington Road.
