Five trees proposed for work at The Old Farm

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The proposal covers five trees at The Old Farm. Two hawthorns could be felled. Small branches could be removed from one sycamore and one willow, while a collapsed willow stem could also be removed.

The site is in Swinbrook's protected historic area and the Cotswolds protected landscape. Swinbrook Cottage, a protected old building, is about a 1-minute walk away. St Mary's Church is a couple of minutes' walk away.

Three nearby property fronts have a direct view towards the site, while 21 are screened by buildings. The work could change the view of the trees, mainly from the east, north-east and west.
