Number 6 Pulteney Road and the area of ground next to it have recently been sold. The site stretches from the side of the house to the footpath under the railway to the canal.

The new owner has cleared the site of shrubs and minor trees and has placed an application to fell a larger tree at the back of the plot. Consent from the council is needed to fell large trees within the Bath Conservation Area.

The application, available on the council website, says that the Copper Beech tree is diseased. The public can comment using the website until 4th September.
