CW5 5LZ
Type
Works to trees in Conservation Area

Description

3x trees situated to the front left of the station. 1 - 1.5m sympathetic full canopy reduction to ensure the visibility for the fire engines is good when leaving the station. This will also keep the trees in a manageable size where they will not out grow the space and still be aesthetically pleasing given they will become prominent in the landscape. Data via plota.co.uk
