EL:02/25 - G1 - group of 3 Cypress trees growing on front verge of Hitherwood, Sandy Drive. Trees have a height of approximately 20m and spread east to west of approximately 14 metres, and north to south approximately 16 metres. Proposed works are to reduce height by approximately 4-5 metres, spread over road and towards property by approximately 1-2 metres and remove selected low branches to lift crown to a height of approximately 5 metres, leaving trees with a height of approximately 15 metres, spread east to west of approximately 13 metres and north to south approximately 14 metres. These works are being carried out to give clearance from property and entrance road, reduce end weight to prevent future failures, allow light into property and to match works that have already been approved for similar group of Cypress trees in neighbouring property.
