The proposed works aim to maintain the visual harmony of the conservation area. Essential pruning and selective removal of trees are planned to ensure the longevity of the landscape while enhancing its contribution to the local heritage. The survey has identified specific trees and branches that pose a risk to residents, visitors, and property. Addressing these issues promptly will ensure residents safety without compromising the area's character. Ca
