Planning history
- May 2019Tree WorksTreesIn report
T1 - Leylandii - Fell as it is too big and too close to the house. T2 - Laurel - Fell due to its position blocking views from the house. T3 - Cherry - Reduce by 30% as we have concerns that it may slip. T4 - Leylandii - Fell as it is too big and competing with the Cherry tree. T5 and T6- Lilac bushes - Fell as they are too close to both ours and our neighbours property. In terms of replanting we have already purchased a range of trees including cherry apple pear plum horse chestnut walnut pine hornbeam silver birch and beech. These vary in size from about 1 metre to 4 metres tall. They will be located further away from our and our neighbours properties in order to not cause any problems in the future.
