View council mapLeylandii hedge - 11 trees - Fell to ground levelThe hedge is in poor condition due to historic mismanagement and lack of appropriate maintenance. There isextensive internal dieback throughout the hedge, with several trees (approximately 4, potentially more)confirmed dead and others in clear decline.The hedge has become sparse and structurally inconsistent, with significant areas of dead material andreduced screening value. It no longer functions effectively as a healthy or appropriate boundary feature.There is established screening from a neighbouring beech hedge to the rear, meaning removal will not resultin a significant loss of privacy or visual amenity.Replacement planting will include three native trees comprising Silver Birch, Sorbus and native Crab Apple.In addition, approximately 40 metres of mixed native hedging has already been established along the siteboundaries, with a further mixed native hedge proposed along the line of the removed Leylandii to provide amore sustainable, biodiverse and appropriate long-term boundary treatment.
