Full Proposal

Remove a 8m row of mature yew hedge which is obstructing views of the side elevation of my house and side garden. Not to be replaced with any hedging. (The hedge was planted 5 years ago , prior to that there was no hedge in this location). The hedge is located to the left hand side of the driveway and comprises 35 trees, which are currently 2 to 2.2m tall. Removing the hedge would have no impact on neighboring trees as they are located far from yew tree roots. Reasons for the work; and where trees are being felled - (i) preserve views of side of house desire views of side of house and (i) better vires from side window onto road and front garden. Proposals for planting replacement trees: no replanting as wish to maintain desired views. HAR/CA21.
