Proposal
Reduce the height of the Leyandii in the roadside hedge to a minimum of 25ft. There are10 taller stems, these are being reduced to match in with the height of the adjacent smaller leylandii. The reason for the work is to reduce the excessive shading on the house and also due to fear of them falling onto the house or the road.
