Planning application
The Cottage Church Lane Wigmore Leominster Herefordshire HR6 9UE
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Two roadside Birch trees to be reduced in height by four metres. They are close to a busy road and a junction, so a management plan is beingimplemented to stop them getting too big for their location. Reduce a Holly in a hedge line by 50% in height, the tree is over a garage and is dominating the light in a small garden.
