ST MARKS CHURCH, CHURCH WALK, RUGBY, CV22 7NQ

Granted Rugby R26/0466 Trees in conservation area

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

T7 Cedar, cut to 5m for carving, see attached report for full details, tree has suffered repeated failure of large branches, the resulting crown has poor form, predominantly long, end weighted branches that have no suitable points to prune back to to be able to reduce risk of further breakout. T6 Large Cedar, tree has poor structural form after repeatedly breaking-out over the last 8-10 years, wounding from branch tear-outs exacerbate this issue, tree is within a high target area used by churchgoers, maintenance volunteers and children from the nearby nursery. Cut to a high stump (approx. 5m) to be used for chainsaw carving or habitat. See report for full details. Report also contains the site plan to aid identification of the individual trees.

    ST MARKS CHURCH, CHURCH WALK, RUGBY, CV22 7NQ

    T1 Cherry, tree has section of rot in main stem at union of upper crown,(approx 2m h.) several branches from this union are laterals at 5-7m in length. The crown is over a busy path,(local nursery school at Church house). Tree is in decline, rather than remove I propose to prune back the main structural branches by 2.5-3.5m to retain the tree but reduce the risk of collapse. Crown spread is between 5-7m at present, and 7m height.
