Between 1/1/2021 and 31/12/2024 a total of 11 planning enforcement files were opened relating to either complaints alleging the removal / felling of trees and  hedgerows without the benefit of planning permission OR for noncompliance with trees and hedgerow related conditions of planning permission.
