Description

The trees form part of a tall hedge that border the slope of the grounds. The trees are growing on the bordering wall that drops to Warren Road, approx 8 feet below. The hedge consists of 1 - Bay Shrub, 2 - Yew Tree, 3 - Leylandi, 4 - Leylandi, 5 - Yew Tree, 6 - Yew Tree, 7 - Bay Shrub. A telegraph pole stands by the wall where the hedge is situated (with numerous cables). The yew tree near the pole is obscuring it now from the Ellington Grounds and is at risk of entanglement with the cables. Request to lower.The hedge is subject to wind disturbance. It's height is an issue for safety regarding the retaining wall of Ellington Court dropping down to Warren Road and for tree fall on the highway of Warren Road below. The telegraph pole and cables are at risk of damage from the branches and greenery movement. A reduction in height by 3 feet would stablise and secure the hedge to form a safer and maintainable barrier. Clear View Trees has viewed the hedge and advised us to make this application before there is any attempt to lower the height of the hedge that contains 3 yew trees. The hedge grew considerably during the restricting time of the pandemic and present time.
