Official description

At the rear of the house there is an avenue of American walnut trees which it is proposed to thin down to the best trees. This will involve removing every other tree to achieve a better spacing and allow the proper development of the canopies of the remaining trees. The trees are young to early mature with a height of 8 or 9 metres. To the west of the house is a paddock and on the southern edge of this is a line of trees incuding alder and prunus spp. These are younger trees that have been suppressed by the woodland trees to the south and have one sided canopies overhanging the paddock. It is proposed to thin these trees down to the better stems which will involve removing 3 or 4 stems.
