Notification of intent to Fell No. 1 Tree within a Conservation Area. T1 - Yew - grew out of our existing privet hedge opposite the Methodist chapel approximately 20 years ago. We intend to remove it because it causes an obstruction to traffic, particularly higher vehicles, and forces them into the middle of the road in what is already a narrow stretch and a difficult spot for pedestrians. By its nature the yew will only become larger and become more of a problem as time goes on.
