Description

I am applying to reduce the face of the line of Evergreen Oaks that make up a hedge at Lister Close identified on the sketch map (scan 09-09-25_2055) as TPO 544. The hedge can be seen in IMG_20250731-092442, IMG_20250731-092546 and IMG_20250731-092413 which also show the extent to which it is encroaching onto the roadside. I am proposing to reduce the face that is encroaching onto the access road and Lamp post by approximately 6 feet (due to cutting back to appropriate pruning points) along the length of the hedge adjoining the roadside which is approximately 22.8m. Pruning the trees back by 6 feet will clear the Lamp post that is currently covered allowing light back onto the access road and also allow more visibility for the vehicles that use the Road. The two pictures attached; IMG_20250731-092506 and IMG_20250731-092425 show the branches making up the face of the hedge. As shown in the photos there are adequate pruning points that could be cut back to that would leave minimal wounds to the branches and plenty of points of new growth.
