Proposal

H1 60m of Leylandii Hedge/trees - Reduce to approx. 3m in height; to where the re-growth has been left, cut back the inner and outer of the hedge/trees back to a tight shape in order to provide site access, road clearance and pedestrian access. This is due to the size of the hedge/trees becoming overbearing for neighbours and complaints being received.
