Proposal
Your permission is kindly sought to carry out work within the Village's Conservation Area, due to its claustrophobic effect, as well as much vegetation (trees/shrubs/Ivy/brambles/et al) overhanging the central car park, & main A32 road. We would like to:- 1 - collectively coppice, or side back, the various shrubs & trees along the western wall?s boundary-line by the A32 road. This would necessitate working on multiple Yew & Common/Cherry Laurel trees, together with Lilac & Buddleia, some of which are 6m to 9m tall. Such work would negate their overhang;2 - in the car park area by the telegraph pole - the removal of the dead tree, infested with brambles;3 - in that area too - side back the 6m high Sycamore tree?s northern wall overhang, & pollard it to 3.5m tall, to still provide screening;4 - the northern boundary?s Apple tree, tip-prune on the northern side, by 2.5m, so as to negate its overhang of parked cars; reduce it in height to about 3.5m/re-shape, to keep it in proportion;5 - side back the plethora of Ivy on old, hidden fencing, again so it doesn?t overhang parked vehicles;6 - scrape Ivy off the wall?s top surface, for aesthetic purposes;7 - side back the overhanging Pyracantha & brambles, to the same wall-line;8 - pollard the shrub by the wooden side gate, to 2m tall;9 - inside the front garden - reduce the far left-hand side, mature (LHS) Viburnum to the southern boundary?s wall?s height/shape;10 - reduce the far LHS corner?s mature Griselinia by 1.5m in height/side-back/shape;11 - reduce the western boundary?s central Common Cherry Laurel to its prior pruning points to 3.5m high;12 - & the far RHS one;13 & 14 - re-pollard the other Common Cherry Laurel to 2.75m, with the nearby Bay tree, to 1.75m;15 - reduce the Pyracantha to 1.75m tall.This proposed work will not spoil this beautiful property's frontage garden's amenity value, but will undoubtedly enhance it, as well as make the overhanging vegetation, safe/legal re clear
