1. Area of woodland i have outlined in maps contains many mature and fantastic trees- we would like to remove all holly and laurel which vary in size but are on average around the middle canopy level they have started to take over the woodland area over the years so hopefully by removing them we can create a better look and to give space to the more mature trees like the yews, beeches and oaks. 2.We would also like to remove dead trees and leave for habitat, also cleaning up any already fallen tree again for habitat. 3. Finally any large areas of nettles and brambles we would like to flail down to open this woodland up and hopefully gets some ridding tracks clear for horse riding and general use of this lovely woodland. I understand this is brief but im happy to organise a meeting with the tree officer to go over and explain what we want to do and achieve. Few comments from Vanessa herself- I have inherited an area of woodland at Whaddon Hall from my late husband, who lived at the adjoining Chase House until we married and had very happy memories of this landscape. I have met the Forestry Commission on site to take its advice on care of the ten trees with TPOs and the starting point is control of surrounding ground cover - specifically invasive levels of laurel bushes (to be removed) and hollies (to be controlled). I have engaged a specialist contractor for these works - Stanton Tree Care - and seek permission to proceed.?
