For identification and location of the trees, please see enclosed document - Proposed Tree Works Sketch - Hill Top House. The trees are all self-seeded saplings (Ash) in an existing hedge. In early February 2022, the hedge will be professionally laid (South of England style) by a local professional hedge layer. On pre-examination of the hedge, it was identified that 4 self-seeded Ash saplings (T1, T2, T3, T4) that are expected to be cut as part of the laying process have trunk diameters 10cm, 9cm, 10cm and 12cm respectively at 1.5m above ground level. It is proposed to partly cut these 4 saplings close to ground level and lay them over as pleachers for the laid hedge. Any gaps in the laid hedge will be filled with new native hedgerow bare root whips. 50 whips have been purchased for this and are heeled-in ready to be planted. A fifth self-seeded Ash sampling (T5 @ 15cm dia.) is growing just outside the hedge line, through, and damaging, the existing boundary fence. It is proposed to fell this sapling, which has low amenity value, completely. The laid, and filled, hedge will rejuvenate and will represent a much better habitat for wildlife than the hedge currently. Once rejuvenated, it will also look much better from the both the highway and house sides. It will also be lower than currently and will reduce overshadowing of Hill Top House. Please note, on site, the trees in question have had blue taped wrapped around them.
