- Feb 2023Tree WorksTreesIn report
1. Large Cherry Tree adjacent to boundary hedge. This is heavily overgrown and the crown will need reducing in size by up to 3m all over. The excess growth overhangs the public footpath that runs along the outer edge of the boundary hedge. It also is now growing into overhead cables 2. 3 x Silver Birch. Tops lowered by 2m a couple of years ago to bring them below the overhead cables, but this work will need to be redone within the next 12-24 months. There are no plans to fully remove the trees, just reducing them in size so as not to encroach on overhead cables or the public footpath.
