Proposal

The proposed works concern the removal of a compartment of five trees positioned along the edge of the woodland. The trees concerned are: 2x Ash, 1x Rowan , 1x Hawthorn, 1x Cracking Willow. These are identified in red in the site plan. Removal of the trees will increase light to the garden, and is intended to provide space for the planting of a small orchard of mixed fruit trees (apple, cherry, pear), soft fruits (blackcurrant, gooseberries, raspberries) and vegetable garden. No works are proposed to any other trees identified in the site plan. HAR/CA3
