Proposal

Removal of Leylandii hedging approximately 2 metres tall by 18 metres long. The hedge is old and the trees (15 in total) have died back and are unsightly and have gaps. The roots are potentially disrupting the water supply for number 2 Brook Cottages. It is our intention to replace the hedging with close board fencing and plant espalier fruit trees along part of the fencing
