Proposal

    3 Church Close Carleton North Yorkshire BD23 3DF

    Front garden works: pruning back hedge and removal of two 'trees' that obstruct use of our driveway. - at the moment we cannot open the drive gate fully and get our car on the drive as the hedge has not been maintained sufficiently. - C1: a Common Box is obstructing the gate and we would like to remove it completely. - E1: this Arborvitae is also dominant and threaten access to the back garden. We would like to remove it completely and allow the Beech (A4) or Elder (D1) to thrive - We have identified a Rowan A1 (not currently a 'tree') next to C1 and an Elder D1 (not currently a 'tree') next to E1 which we would like to keep and manage as a native species once space is freed up. - A1-4: these Beeches have been allowed to over extend too far into the driveway. Trunks vary in size. We want to keep these but prune them back into manage them into a more appropriate size for the property and allow drive access
