Briar Hill

9.2.15 The following works are considered enhancements for Briar Hill:

  • Implementation of high hedging, preferably alone or in combination with a low retaining wall.
  • Reinstatement of the historic landscaping scheme by restoring the briar (Rosa rubiginosa) hedge, which has been diminished over time and replaced with less suitable species such as Laurus nobilis.
  • Implementation of a mixed hedge comprising 50% briar and 50% climate-tolerant or native species, where an evergreen hedge is preferred.
  • Protection of the trees and briar hedges on Briar Hill and those leading into the inner estate.
