  We need to remove a small hawthorn tree, which is part of a hawthorn hedge, in order to provide access for small plant equipment from the road onto our property to replace our non-compliant septic tank with a sewage treatment plant ahead of selling the property. We will also need to remove a small section of the hawthorn hedge, but that will be replaced once the work is completed. The diameter of the tree stem is 67 cm. We are hoping to start the work early June 2026.

  T1 - T6: Yew Trees: Removal of trees located within five metres of the external walls of the property. The trees have grown too large for their location, being planted close together and within 5 m of the house and garage. They significantly reduce light into the property and garden, while branches quite often break off and fall, creating a safety concern. Their proximity also raises potential risk of subsidence, and their size makes ongoing maintenance impractical. To mitigate their removal, I propose to replant more suitable species, such as Amelanchier, Rowan, Crab Apple, Tibetan Cherry, and possibly Silver Birch, in positions further from the property to preserve the character of the conservation area.
