  The work is to pollard the trees, they were last done in 2020 since then part of the site around the trees has been developed and now a significant reduction in the structural frame work of the trees would make them more appropriate to the setting. The trees have no open public view, the trees are significant to the site as a landscape feature of pollards and they will continue to be this, although smaller and more managed. Please see accompanying documentation.
