Obtained planning permission to form a new field entrance
Planners requested that hedges be set back slightly for visibility splays (1metre max)
The hedge in question is 10 years old and in good health
Wondering about digging a trench 1 metre wide and o.4 metres deep behind hedge then pushing from the other side with a telescopic just outside the main rooting area with a bucket in vertical position. Will have to be done after Sept 1st ,moving this mass l would have thought to be easier with ground saturated rather than bone dry.
Am l mad?
Interested in your opinions and maybe other more sensible ideas
