Queen Camilla's heartache at big change on country estate which forced her to 'stay away'


He wrote in the application: “The attached tree works are to maintain health or longevity by means of: defective or diseased parts, good structural integrity by removing individual dead, defective or diseased parts.”

“Sympathetic pruning to minimise the potential for limb loss, and improve the shape of the tree.

“Management objectives and commonly applied pruning options to maintain health or longevity by means of good structural integrity disease or pest control.”

The plans involve the treatment of three Ash trees as well as an Oak, while three Willows will be pruned.

Two Alders will also be treated, with one being felled and another one will have deadwood removed from it.

Just last year the Queen spoke of her devastation when Jellyman had to remove half of the avenue of small-leaved limes flanking her rear drive after she planted them too close together.

She said: “Paul had to remove half of them — but when I was away, as I can’t bear to see trees come down.”

No objections have been made to the plans.

Camilla bought the property in 1994 for £850,000 and lived there until 2005.

After her marriage to King Charles, she kept it as her country retreat.
