Some minor security works are under way at present aimed mainly at securing the property and preventing unauthorised access onto the site. I can also confirm that the removal of three trees near the house which was carried out for safety reasons did not require a tree felling licence and that no breaches of the planning laws or regulations have occurred arising from the various works carried out to date. As the work is still ongoing the precise costs involved are not yet available.
