Planning application

Graveyard adjacent to Long Fridays Green Lane Yarpole Leominster Herefordshire HR6 0BB

Decided Herefordshire, County of P230549/K Works to Trees in a Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.

Proposal

Three holly trees, (south of a large yew tree), will be subject to crown reduction. Currently, the trees are growing over the boundary into the curtilage of Long Fridays, significantly encroaching on the building itself and reducing light and accessibility. The trees are currently approximately 15ft (4.5 metres) tall, and the work will reduce their height to approximately 8ft (2.4m) above ground level. This will allow the resident in Long Fridays to safely manage the height of the three holly trees in the future.

As published by the council, reference P230549/K

    Laurel tree (grid reference: SO 47004 64874) growing in churchyard of St. Leonard's Church, Yarpole to be reduced to 10 feet in height (currently approximately 25 feet in height), as it is currently growing through the power cable/telephone line, and protruding into the church fabric (branches growing into church gutters at height). Additionally, two lower branches (diameter of each approximately 2 inches) of laurel to be removed as currently they are obstructing footpaths and preventing access to parts of the churchyard.

    We have recently had a Vegetation Management survey on behalf of National Grid over concerns about power cables passing through the canopy of a Monkey Puzzle Tree (T1) growing in our garden. It stands over 10 metres tall. The tree is still growing and stands only 3 metres from the house and is now spreading outwards over the flat roofextension. The base of the tree is also rising and starting to lift the oil storage tank and there may be future issues with paving and drains. We are in agreement with the surveyor that it needs felling to the ground.
