Proposal

T1/T2 - Yew - crown lift to approximately 2.5m from church ground level to open up vistas from road to church. T3 - Cypress - adjacent to entrance footpath. Section fell to ground level and remove arisings. T4 - Yew - adjacent to footpath entrance - sprawling and significantly hindering views from church and highway. It has been noted that client would like to revert ground area back to grass land. This would be more achievable if the tree was removed. Section fell to ground level and remove arisings. T5 - Dogwood - obscuring vistas with no real room to develop. Coppice at 0.5m from ground level. Reactive growth may appear that can then be managed as a small shrub at a later date. T6 - Cypress - fell to ground level and remove all arisings. T7 - Yew - large Yew to rear of church building. Crown lift to approximately 4m from ground level. T8/T9 - Yew - adjacent to new extension. In close proximity to property and disturbing low level graves. Fell to ground level and remove arisings. T10 - Cypress - largest of the three to be removed. Fell to ground level and remove arisings. G1 - Large area of Box - as per client request, coppice all box at 0.5m from ground level. Clear dumped woody debris from area. Remove all arisings.
