Council planning record

Area 1: Fell 2 large Poplars and large Willow as detailed on the plan, and clear 5m wide strip of low level vegetation along the new line. Remove all overhang to the new fence line from remaining vegetation/trees and with a hoist laterally cut back remaining line of large Poplars by 5m to prevent likelihood of limb failure onto the new fence line. Area 2: Fence to be replaced line on line. Clear all vegetation/trees within 3m either side of the exiting fence line and remove overhang from the remaining trees. Area 3: Fence to be replaced line on line. Clear all vegetation/trees within 3m either side of the exiting fence line and remove overhang from the remaining trees. Area 4: back fence line: Fence to be replaced line on line. Clear all vegetation within 3m inside the existing fence line. Cut back all overhang to the footpath from trees on the western side to remove climbing aid and overhang to new fence. Access way area: Remove all vegetation and trees in the marked area on the northern side of the road removing all arisings from site. We may need the roadway closed to complete this work or off peak hours i.e. weekend working. An uplift of 50% would need to be added for weekend works. Grind stumps in all areas where access allows. River Inlet Area 1: Clear all vegetation and trees within 3m inside the existing fence line and remove all overhang to the site. Area 2: Clear all vegetation within 3m inside and outside the existing line and crown lift line of large willows to give a minimum clearance of 7m from ground level.
