Planning application
Catholic Church Of St Joseph East Street St Neots
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T1 (Prunus) - Lift lower limbs to improve access and reduce back to match upper canopy. T2 (Box Elder Maple) - Reduce overhang from neighbours back to boundary (up to approx. 2m). Reduce overhanging growth on three lower branches encroaching towards church building by 2/3m back to suitable growth points to match upper canopy. T3/T4/T5/T6 (x4) (Lime Trees) - Re-pollard back to previous points and remove epicormic growth. T7 (Dead Standing Robinia) - Monolith to a safe height of approximately 8ft. Tree is in significant decline and now completely dead standing with potential risk to neighbouring property or church if failure occurs. T8 (Yew) - Lift one side of canopy to approximately 3.5m to provide clearance for building works being undertaken beneath (base already installed).
