A COUNCIL has been asked to approve the removal of an “impossible to manage” hedge.

Monmouthshire County Council has received the application related to a home in Plover Crescent, Caldicot.

It asks for permission to replace the unspecfied hedge at the boundary with “a superior fence” which would be painted in a colour “to enhance the look” of the property.

The application adds: “We would like to inform you its is almost impossible to manage.”

The application is being considered by Monmouthshire County Council’s planning department.
