DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED WORKS Species No of Tree(s) Description of Proposed Work Reason for Proposed Work Norway Maple Conifer 1 5 Total removal. Total removal. This is a large tree which is too close to the Grade 11 Listed stone wall, causing possible problems to the sub-structure of this wall. Situated right next to Listed wall, causing obvious problems. N.B. We are applying for the removal of these trees as we have discovered some problems with the existing structure of the Grade 11 Listed boundary wall in this particular area. We have obtained a quote & agreed to have remedial work (which will take 3 wks to carry out) done to the wall before next winter. In order to avoid further problems with the wall & for safety's sake, we really need to remove those trees causing damage. The wall is particularly high at this point and is adjacent to the main road to Ashton-under-Hill.
