    T/2023/0001/TCA Submitted 4 Jan 2023 250 yards away

    The area of concern is a woodland area on the opposite side of Guinea Hall Lane to number 56 etc as per marked out on the sketch plan. There are a total of 3 Beech trees which have limbs overhanging the road. This has been picked up on a recent H+S report of the site as a concern and needs attention. I am proposing that only the limbs highlighted on the attached pictures supplied are cut back approx. 4 metres back to the trunk to alleviate any hazard. The works will involve traffic management due to the position of the road and all debris generated will be removed from site.
