  Retrospective reduction in height of cemetery wall which boundaries the closed cemetery and access road from the highway to open section of the cemetery. The condition of the wall had deteriorated significantly and the emergency demolition was to make the wall safe. Height has been reduced to approximately 800 - 1000mm in height, for the entire length. Saddle back coping stones have not been re-instated. Materials have been retained and stored within the closed cemetery section for potential re-use.

  3B Great Lane Greetham Rutland LE15 7NG

  (T1) 1 no. Beech tree overhanging neighbouring property on opposite side of the stream. There is one lateral which is standing a long way proud of all surrounding foliage. Preference is to completely remove this limb back to a branch collar pruning cut on the main stem as shown by the purple line but if the council strongly opposes the complete removal then a heavy reduction back to the red lines shown will give the best crown rebalance whilst retaining that limb.
