Summary

The applicant proposes to cut down one mature Robinia tree because it shows dead wood. Three yew trees would have their crowns reduced by half. The site is directly adjacent to the churchyard cross and several protected old buildings. All Saints' Church is also directly adjacent, while four property fronts to the east and west have clear views. Removing a mature tree could permanently change the greenery and views around the church. The council may also consider whether reducing the yews by half would keep them healthy.

What you can do

Comments can be sent to the council using reference 26/00224/TCA. Explain any concerns about tree health, safety, appearance or nearby historic buildings; private property values cannot be considered.
