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.

The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
