Highfield Sand Quarry Moss Lane Lowton
Official description
We plan to reduce the overall overgrown nature of the area known as the plateau within the woods to try to encourage a meadow like space with more natural light passing through the canopy. No trees within a 4 metre distance from the existing boundary line will be worked so as not to impact the view of the wood from outside. Where possible any trees removed will be replaced on a 2 to 1 basis and used to reinforce or plug gaps in the existing boundary. H1 to H11 Hawthorn Remove A13 Ash Remove S14 Sycamore Remove S15 Sycamore Remove A16 Ash Remove A17 Ash Remove O1, O2 O3 Oak Crown lift to 4metres from ground level. Crown thin by 25%. Crown reduction to 12 metres Removal of all dead and hanging branches or trees
