Council sourceWe plan to reduce the overall overgrown nature of the area known as the plateau within the woods to try to encourage a meadow like space with more natural light passing through the canopy. No trees within a 4 metre distance from the existing boundary line will be worked so as not to impact the view of the wood from outside. Where possible any trees removed will be replaced on a 2 to 1 basis and used to reinforce or plug gaps in the existing boundary.H1 to H11 Hawthorn RemoveA13 Ash RemoveS14 Sycamore RemoveS15 Sycamore RemoveA16 Ash RemoveA17 Ash RemoveO1, O2 O3 Oak Crown lift to 4metres from ground level.
