Council planning record

A single tree directly outside of my property. I recently had the tree coppiced. The new growth is coming back, I would like to trim back the bottom of the tree to expose the trunk, so I can clear the grass from around the base and tidy the area up. I would like to do this to assist the tree to come back from the top and increase the visibility and access into my drive. I would like to remove the basal growth from the Lime as describe in the location and photographs attached.
