The Bury Meadows Bury Road Witcham Cambridgeshire
Points A to B, Our requirement is to ensure a clear surface is maintained which is wide enough to be safely used by pedestrians, horse riders and vehicles, as is required by its status as a Public Byway Open to All Traffic. The current useable width of the public right of Way has been reduced to 1.5m in places, primarily by encroaching, briars, blackthorn and Hawthorn. The proposal is to clear back the emerging surface vegetation 2m either side of the current clear usable surface. This vegetation is primarily bramble and young blackthorn suckers. In to enable safe use of the route by horse riders any encroaching vegetation / branches within this clearance width will be pruned to provide a clearance height of 4m from ground level.These works will have no impact on any mature trees growing within the boundary of the byway. Due to the density of the vegetation required clearing, this work will be carried out using a tractor mounted flail, ensuring the ground is firm on the date these works are carried out.
