Planning application
Remains Of St Marys Priory Sunk Road Walsingham Norfolk
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Mature Atlas Cedar located on lawns of scheduled monument site of St Marys Priory, Sunk Road, Walsingham. Remove entire upper structure, to reduce risk of significant stem / limb failure by reducing wind load and exposure. The lower crown also requires extensive remedial surgery to address the multiple weak and compromised limbs and unions as identified during the recent aerial inspection. A Tree Report by Ravencroft Arboriculture dated 22nd April 2026 has full details of the proposed tree works.
