Council sourceThe subject of this application is a leylandii hedge on the boundary of the site bordering Park Valley. The leylandii have been allowed to grow far too tall and have died off at the base making them look very scruffy and no longer performing the function of a good evergreen boundary hedge. The proposal is to remove these along with the roots and plant a yew hedge as a replacement to match the yew already planted along this boundary where the leylandii are absent. No other trees on the site are affected, and existing trees will be protected as required during the course of the works which may require the leylandii stumps to be removed by pedestrian grinder with no side roots chased out (if required) in order to ensure no damage occurs to other existing trees.
