Description

Two large Conifers of significant height and unsafe - to be felled, these are positioned halfway down the garden say 10 metres from the river, danger if they collapse over the river onto the road or onto Lincroft House itself or Lincroft Stables. Movement to the low wall built around the stumps of these two trees has already been damaged and collapsed. 3 smaller Conifers behind a fence - to be felled to give natural light to already existing wild pond. Laurels along river bank to be reduced or dug out where appropriate to give screening into the garden. A Cherry tree and Goat Willow tree to be removed at the front of the garden near the wall.
