Tree Works – The Green
Works under planning application PL/2026/01526 to fell the Beech tree at Hightown will be undertaken Friday (13 November). The contractor will be carrying out the chipping of the wood on the village green (subject to an assessment of the ground conditions to ensure no damage is caused).
Due to the size of the this tree and the nature of the works, there may be short periods when the road outside Hightown to the village green has to be closed off.
Please take care during these works and follow any safety directions from the contractor.
A replacement tree must be replanted before the end of the 2026/2027 planting season, and will be protected by the same TPO as the original tree. Whilst it will obviously not be as big as the Beech removed, it will grow to the same proportions for future generations to enjoy.
