Council planning record

There are 6 large conifers on the Eastern side of the Chase outside the border of Rectory Cottage (falling into designated area A2). These conifers are damaging the foundations of my perimeter wall; they are restricting light to the property and they are growing through the power line. I would like to remove these trees as soon as permission is granted and replace with 6 Silver Birch, interspaced with a mix of evergreen shrubs (Photinia and Laurel) in keeping with the nature of The Chase.
