Approval is sought to undertake essential management works on two Yew trees (Taxus baccata) located in the rear garden of Rose Cottage. The trees have not been pruned for several years, resulting in dense canopies that dominate the garden, prevent understory growth, and cause structural and access conflicts. All works are proposed, and will be carried out, in accordance with British Standard BS3998. Detailed Schedule of Works & Justification Tree 1 Yew tree,Taxus baccata (Located closest to the rear fence, adjacent to the public footpath) ?
