The Burrow 52 High Street Orwell Royston Cambridgeshire SG8 5QN
Proposal
Remove 6 leylandii trees from the rear garden of our property, leaving stumps only. 3 of the trees are damaged due to their location over remnants of a septic tank. The remaining trees are on the boundary of the property and very overgrown. We plan to remove in order to provide better fencing/border to the adjoining property as well as repair groundworks from the old septic tank (and eventually replace with fruit trees).
