Trees to be removed: - Lawson Cypress (T05) approx. 14.5m high ? This specimen was classified as a low-quality tree (Category C) in the Arboricultural Survey conducted in July 2023, indicating limited ecological or biodiversity value and little potential for long-term retention.The oversized shrub poses several practical issues - it partially blocks the main access to the driveway and restricts entry for taller vehicles. It also significantly reduces natural light to both the garden and the interior of the home. Furthermore, having been planted directly into a tarmac surface, the specimen's condition has been compromised over time. - Cherry Laurel (G01) approx. 4.0m high.
