Proposal

Scots pine - Reduce crown remove deadwood and reduce overextended laterals by approx 1m. Leylandii hedge at rear - Reduce height by approx 3m. Row of Conifers and Hazel along left side of rear garden - Reduce height. by approx 3m. Pruning work to be carried out to BS3998 2010 British Standards. All arisings to be removed from site, leaving tidy. All trees are located within a private, enclosed rear garden at a domestic property. The proposed removal of two large Conifers would enhance the visibility of the existing Pine from the roadside, potentially improving the overall amenity value. Future replanting is intended to maintain canopy cover and long-term landscape value. The proposed hedge reductions are sought to ensure the safe, proportionate, and reasonable management of the gardens trees and hedges.
