A Kenilworth developer has asked for permission to cut down a number of dead trees at a new housing estate.

Persimmon Homes has asked for permission for the works at Kenilworth Gate on Leamington Road.

Plans submitted to Warwick District Council include a report completed by Wharton Natural Infrastructure Consultants Ltd.

It assessed the health of 18 trees around the estate entrance, 11 of which said they needed to be felled.

Persimmon said the works were necessary as it has a duty of care to deal with trees "which you could reasonably foresee would be likely to cause injury or harm to visitors or neighbours and ensure they will be reasonably safe when using its premises for its intended purposes".

'the works were necessary as it has a duty of care' - Persimmon, you should use your resources to build that pavement on the RH side of the road, instead of this, ref 'duty of care'
