Conversion of stables and conversion/part rebuild of cart shed to create 2 farm workers cottages

No. 781- X Cupressocyparis leylandii- Clear fell due to increased size and potential risk to property, oil and fuel tanks, cast excessive shade and leaves shed onto nearby roof of a stable block and neighbouring property, increasing damp and weight on the structure. will be replaced onsite with the planting of 1 Liriodendron tulipifera No.783- Thuja plicata, No. 784-Prunus avium, No.785,786,787,788,789, Clear fell, due to proximity of neighbouring boundary and outbuildings, onsite Stable Block, unsuitable trees for there location, pollarding is not an option as this will cause higher risk of branch failure in the future and require more overall maintenance. trees overall growth habit are poor and have a directional lean due to over shading from coniferous trees, trees are also of a low amenity value and will be replaced throughout the garden with the replanting of 20 natives, and beneficial trees for wildlife and pollinators as apart of the estates plan of curating an Arboretum. No790 & No.791- Fraxinus excelsior- Both specimens are large with an overall height of 18m and a girth of between 570-810mm, Both are showing signs of Ash dieback and have been in decline over the last year with more visual dieback present. Due to the proximity of both trees to current structures at Manor hall and the neighbouring property Lakeview, to minimise and mitigate any damage to property or risk to life due to unexpected limb failure in poor weather, Clear fell and removal would be proposed, the removal limits the spread of this disease to other Healthy Fraxinus across the site. A British native mixed hedge would replace these trees

(1) Small dead conifer by the gravel drive. Fell and grub out the stump. (2) Small conifer behind the stable. Trim all over. (5) Large Apple tree by the shed. Reduce the height by approximately 2.0m and prune to clear the side of the shed and the drive by 2.0m.
