  We would like to remove 4 young sycamore tree adjacent to the road in order to plant a native hedge between the road and woodland. Removing the trees and accompanying ivy in the canopy will allow more light to get to the hedging. A mixture of hawthorn, dog rose and Blackthorn will be planted, providing food for wildlife and eventually nesting opportunities. Trees will be removed after the nesting season. Please see plan of tree locations and photos of trees.
