CASTLE VIEW Alpraham Green, Alpraham, Tarporley, Cheshire East, CW6 9LJ
Description
Consent to remove a 31-metre hedgerow that sits inside the legal boundary of the equestrian land, creating a narrow strip inaccessible to livestock and of no productive use. The hedgerow will be immediately replaced with like-for-like native species planted directly on the boundary line, ensuring no net loss of habitat. All works will be undertaken outside the bird nesting season. The hedgerow does not meet the criteria for “important” status under The Hedgerows Regulations 1997
