Description

Just outside the easterly corner our garden, but in the in the field belonging to our neighbour at Dracott, Cleves Lane RG25 2RG, stand four pine trees (We describe them as Douglas Firs) which we believe to have been planted and to have not naturally seeded. They affect the sun into our garden and that of our neighbour at Majestic House. All parties have agreed to their removal and the owner of Draycot, Mr Mike Metham, has asked that four trees are planted in a position, as yet to be decided, in their place The application is to have all four trees in question felled as close as possible to the ground.
