Description

There are 6 leylandi trees in a line on the garden boundary which is also the line of the Fritchley Conservation Area. The trees are trained in a goblet shape. They require frequent trimming to maintain their shape. They are incongruous in the landscape and of little importance to wildlife. The proposal is to fell the trees and plant a mixed native species hedgerow along the boundary to the field and garden. We would like to incorporate 4-6 hedge trees. We feel this would be a more attractive boundary treatment to wildlife and to the landscape of the village settlement boundary. The native species would be a double staggered row of 7 plants per metre of Hawthorn, Field Maple, Hazel, Spindle Tree, Honeysuckle, Guelder Rose and Dog Rose. Hedge trees would be crab apple and wild cherry.
