Proposal

Removal of a number of trees within the Almshouses grounds, including approximately 6 -7 x medium-sized Goat Willows, 3x Sycamore, 1x Ash and 1x Apple tree. These trees are considered unsuitable for the setting due to their vigorous growth and increasing dominance of the limited outdoor space, resulting in excessive shading and reduced usability for residents.
