Flat 1, 3A Thornton Hill, Wimbledon, Merton, SW19 4HU
Description
THE TREES ARE IDENTIFIED AND NUMBERED 1-6 ON THAT ATTACHED PLAN (LEYLANDII TREES - 3A THORNTON HILL.PDF). THEY ARE IN A FLOWERBED WITH A 1.5M WOODEN FENCE BEHIND IT BORDERING THE PROPERTY. INTERSPERSED BETWEEN TO LEYLANDII TREES ARE PHOTINAS (RED ROBIN) BUSHES, WHICH ARE BEING STARVED OF LIGHT AND NUTRIENTS BY THE LEYLANDII AND, AS CAN BEEN SEEN FROM THE ENCLOSED PHOTOGRAPHS ARE OVERWHELMED AND STRUGGLING. THE TREES ARE ALSO CASTING SHADE ON THE LAWN AND REMAINING FLOWERBED IN THE GARDEN WHICH I HAVE CLEARED OVER THE WINTER AND AM REPLANTING WITH SHRUBS DURING THE SPRING. I WANT TO CUT DOWN THE LEYLANDII, TO ALLOW THE PHOTINAS TO THRIVE AND CREATE THE HEDGEROW AS INTENDED. LEFT IN SITU THE LEYLANDII WILL CONTINUE TO GROW RAPIDLY FURTHER OUT OF CONTROL AND WILL OVERPOWER ALL OTHER PLANTS AND VEGETATION IN THE GARDEN AS WELL AS THE ROOTS RISKING DAMAGE TO THE BORDERING FENCING AND NEIGHBOUR'S PROPERTY. LEYLANDII ARE NOT NATIVE AND IN MY PERSONAL OPINION SHOULD NOT BE PERMITTED IN A CONSERVATION AREA.
