Received 20 Dec 2024 - Unknown24/00251/TREECA
To fell the length of conifers on the northern boundary of the garden to Peddars End. These trees are not protected by a Preservation order. We consider them an eyesore and would like to remove them and replace them with a wicker fence which would be more sympathetic to the natural environment and enable us to have a longer view across the fields and marsh towards the sea. It would also bring more light into our garden, the trees are presently very imposing and absorb light.
