Remove a mature cedar from the churchyard after large branches broke off, threatening a busy footpath.
Church Of St Mary Church Road Shaw Newbury RG14 2DR
Official description
I wish to apply to fell and dismantle the mature Cedar of Lebanon tree, known as tree icon 014J in the grounds of St Mary's Church yard, Shaw. The tree has had two significant and large limb rip outs over the last threee months from probalby included bark and acute branch collars, the remaining tree has several more significant limbs with similar branch collars and the concern is that additional limbs and branches are likely to fall over time. A well used footpath runs past the tree and this is used daily by children and adults. The tree now has two large decay points where the limbs ripped out from so these will be sites of pathogen ingress over time. The tree is around 15m in height and 10-12m in width, the hope is that the church plants a replacement tree elsewhere in the churchyard.
