Planning application

St Peters Church Church Knowle Church Knowle BH20 5NF

Granted Dorset P/TRC/2024/06551 Tree Works- Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Trees 1 - 10 Irish Yew: Proposed work to reduce height from 10' to their original 4' thick bush format, and pollard sides where overhanging lawn and graves. This will be done in increments to minimise harm to the tree. This is part of a renewal programme to reinvigorate the churchyard - making it healthier and more amenable to a variety of flora and insects; to make it a lighter and less gloomy place; and to protect the fabric of the building which is becoming damp.
