Planning application

St Margarets Church, Mapledurham Village, Reading, RG4 7TP

Decided South Oxfordshire P16/S4663/TCA Works to trees in CA

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

T1 - Maple tree Fell the single maple tree (acer platanoides - Norway Maple "Crimson King") to north west of St Margarets Church. Firstly, the tree was originally planted in the churchyard without permission (a diocesan faculty). The tree has now grown to a size where the roots are damaging the adjacent listed wall (a large hole has just had to be filled). Lastly we wish to restore the historical view of the church from the road and watermill direction which can be seen at http://photos.francisfrith.com/frith/mapledurham-st-margaret-s-church-1910_62214_large.jpg.
