    G1 (Applicants ref) 8x Yew trees- Fell to ground level. Hedgerow is causing excessive shading to the outbuilding. Ongoing management is impractical due to size, density and proximity to structures, with limited scope for effective reduction. Replant with a native broadleaf hedgerow to provide screening, improve biodiversity, and allow for sustainable long-term management.
