Proposal

Ref S/0901/TC. On advice from arborist proposing to fell all 3 trees of which they are all Conifers. .The 2 trees that were to be trimmed are dangerous and showing signs of dying. They have low amenity value. Will replace with extension of laurel hedge..This application to take preference over the previous application of 7/3/19. .The 2 conifers previously asked to be trimmed are dangerous and could be undermining the foundations. They have become too large and they have no cultural value. I would replace the trees with a hedge extension which would tidy up the whole area and make it safe. The trees at present could topple onto Riddy Lane or onto the bungalow. .
