Summary
The owner of a large detached house on Rusholme Road is applying to cut the front hedge — the one that faces the street — down to up to 60% less than its current height. The property sits in a protected historic area and is a large pre-1900 detached house of over 300 square metres. Holy Trinity Church is a couple of minutes' walk away, and the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability is right next door. The hedge borders the street, so any change to its height could affect the look of the area. The council may want to check whether this is right for a protected historic street.
