Proposal
5-DAY NOTICE OF URGENT WORKS This notice concerns four trees (T1 to T4) at my property, 61 Wolsey Road, which are protected by virtue of their location within the Moor Park Conservation Area. Trees have all been inspected by a tree expert and the following documents support this submission: Tree Schedule, Site Location Plan, Photographs and Mitigation & Canopy Replacement Plan.

Access and inspection: The trees are available for Council inspection. Please contact me using the details below to arrange access. Replacement planting: I am c...
