After much discussion the Tree Officer informed us that the planning consent over rode any tree preservation order and therefore the trees could be removed. After she had left the site Nick and I fired up our chain saws and within two hours we had removed the offending trees. It is amazing how much this has opened up the site because the Holly had grown unchecked for several years and had become straggly and entangled in each other. There's a lot to be done...
