Proposal

Works to trees subject to South Lakeland DC TPO No. 198 (2005). Ash dieback is present within the woodland. Several large trees are located close to the road and the garden of 3 Low Pastures and may pose a risk to people and property. To maintain the woodland's long-term character, replacement planting is proposed using suitable native species, including common holly, common yew, hawthorn, native crab apple, sessile oak, silver birch and whitebeam.
