Proposal

Main Rowcroft driveway ///sectors.interval.headboard T0091. 1x Norway Maple - Remove 2x defective stems, that overhang the neighbouring property, down to historic coppice points at approximately 0.5m above ground level. A 20m mewp will be set up on the main driveway to assist in the removal of the stem along with rigging techniques to control the fall of all cut material and reduce the risk of damage to the surrounding landscape. Some of the lower branches will have to be pruned to provide better access for the works to be carried out. All arising material shall be removed from site and returned to our premises for recycling. Please see attached QTRA as justification of works.
