Council planning record

Reshape hedges 1, 2 and 3 to reshape to limit their height to 2 metres and reduce their width to recover unrestricted access to the church. The topping and pruning would be done over three winter periods so that no individual tree within the hedges has more than the top or one side pruned in one period (Ripley Conservation Area).
