Proposal

Lawson Cypress x 4 - T1, T2, T3 & T4 Fell the 4 trees to ground level. Due to poor condition as once was maintained as a hedge, now overgrown on old pruning points creating over extended thin tops with potential for failure next to neighbouring property and electrical substation. Additional works for low level vegetation removal at front of substation (A1), although not part of the application due to exemptions of stem diameter size for vegetation. Removal of area necessary for reinstatement of security fence around substation.
