Council sourceTo remove one conifer tree from the front left hand side (from the road) of front garden as shown on drawing. The conifer is approximately 15 feet tall and is part of a collection of perennial plants in a flower bed. This is to allow the widening of drive to enable vehicles to turn around on the driveway. At the moment any vehicle has to reverse back down the drive onto Somersall Lane into often very busy traffic.
