Planning application

Church Gate Almeley Hereford Herefordshire HR3 6LB

Decided Herefordshire, County of P242361/K Works to Trees in a Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.

Proposal

Proposed works to a line of conifers (Lleylandii) which were planted as a hedge many years ago adjacent to the road have grown to an excessive height and have degenerated into a dangerous condition. These trees have been reduced in height on a number of occasions. Additionally, it is intended to fell a cherry laurel tree adjacent to the road which is also in a dangerous condition. During periods of adverse weather, branches detach from the trees, falling on to the road below. A number of trees have already died. The intention is to fell these trees and to replace with a hedge of native species.
