G2 - Mixed Species Group (Lilac, Holly, Hawthorn) - Linear reduction of mixed understory vegetation and hedging to align uniformly with the existing hedge line. Canopy tops to be levelled to a crisp datum line, with the outer faces lightly trimmed back. (Approx 4 small stems that have been missed over the years during hedge cutting). Reason for Works: To establish a clean, manageable boundary while strictly prioritising the retention of dense foliage for privacy and security
