Proposal

Proposed Works: Crown lift the conifer on the western side of the garden. Crown lift the isolated conifer halfway down the path to 2.8 metres. Crown lift the conifer next to the Oak to 2.8 metres. Justification: The proposed works are intended to manage the garden's trees and hedges responsibly, promoting plant health while improving garden utility. Other selective trimming and crown lifting of conifers will similarly maintain safe and unobstructed access along garden paths. All works will be undertaken sensitively to preserve plant health, maintain privacy and screening, and support long-term sustainable growth.
