Planning application
St Marys Church High Street Everdon
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
- Common lime trees (marked T1 and T4) on the plan. We have been advised to remove dead branches and remove basal growth at the base of these trees. - Irish yews T2 and T3 on the plan. We wish to manage lateral spread onto the adjacent paths. - Irish yew (T9). We wish to reduce the height of this tree to around 4m to allow more sun on the church stonework. - Irish yew (T10). We wish to remove this tree as it obstructs access to the churchyard. This is especially difficult for undertakers carrying a coffin for funerals; the tree is of a size that prevents direct access to the graveyard. We undertake to plant another tree in the churchyard as a replacement which would be positioned away from the footpath. - Irish yews (T11, T12, T13). We wish to reduce the height of these to around 4m to allow more sun on the church stonework. - Norway Spruce (T14). We wish to remove the elder from around the base and raise the crown to 2.5m.

G1 is a row of Conifer hedging. We are seeking permission to reduce the ends of this Conifer hedge by up to 5m to lower it to the same height as the retained hedge. The hedge is currently 4m tall from ground level. The ends of this hedge line have not been maintained.
