Planning application
Sunnyside Cottage Kirkham Lane Fritchley Belper Derbyshire DE56 2FS
Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
There are 6 leylandi trees in a line on the garden boundary which is also the line of the Fritchley Conservation Area. The trees are trained in a goblet shape. They require frequent trimming to maintain their shape. They are incongruous in the landscape and of little importance to wildlife. The proposal is to fell the trees and plant a mixed native species hedgerow along the boundary to the field and garden. We would like to incorporate 4-6 hedge trees. We feel this would be a more attractive boundary treatment to wildlife and to the landscape of the village settlement boundary. The native species would be a double staggered row of 7 plants per metre of Hawthorn, Field Maple, Hazel, Spindle Tree, Honeysuckle, Guelder Rose and Dog Rose. Hedge trees would be crab apple and wild cherry.

As discussed with Fergus MacArthur in previous email; permission is sought to remove low lying vegetation and self set saplings in the area of the Butterley Gangroad (scheduled monument) to the North of the identified boule Piste. Historic England are to advise on the larger trees and are not subject to this application. This work is to clear the low lying vegetation to prevent additional growth which will interfere with the integrity of the walls of the monument. The saplings are believed to be in the main, ash.
