Planning application
All Saints And St Andrews Church Church Lane Kingston Cambridgeshire
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1 Norway Spruce, approx 25 years old, 12 metres high - 1 on plan. Fell as this tree is impeding access to northern churchyard and there is a risk of this tree falling onto the adjacent Church Cottage, less than 5 metres away to the north. The churchyard soil is a shallow gravel - not like the surrounding clay - and a mature ash on the eastern churchyard boundary fell in a gale about 10 years ago, narrowly missing the east end of the church. The southern part of the churchyard is full, and burials now take place on the northern side - access is needed by mini diggers for grave digging. T2 Birch, approx 10 years old, self-sown, approx 6 metres high. Fell because this tree is impeding access to the northern churchyard and is damaging adjacent gravestone. T3 Pollard ash, at least 200 years old, Last pollarded approx 20 years ago. Trunk is splitting apart and has been wired up, but pollarding would reduce pressure. Propose to pollard back to existing stubs approx 5 metres above ground. Willing to plant one replacement tree - Ilex aquifolium - on northern boundary, adjacent to gate to Rectory Lane.
