Proposal

It has come to my attention that I may have needed planning permission for the removal of a Beech hedge that formed a section of the boundary between the front garden of no61 and the access path to no63. The hedge was 2.5m high but has now been reduced to 3 stumps of 75cm height, two of which are over 7.5cm diameter. I have previously been granted planning approval at No. 61 for the removal of individual trees (via arboriculturist application) but did not appreciate I needed this for a hedge.
