St Michaels Church Church Walk Bodenham Hereford Herefordshire HR1 3JU

P262544/KWorks to Trees in a Conservation AreaApproved

Approved on 8 October 2026

Council decision: Trees in Cons Area Works Can Proceed

Proposal

Atlas Cedar - the tree is positioned in the area of more recent graves and has a high target occupancy. Due to historic limb failures the trees crown is out of balance with large limbs overextended, reduce the overextended limbs by removing 2-3 metres of growth to a suitable growth point, remove major deadwood and limbs with hazard prone characteristics, thin canopy by approximately 10% to reduce sailarea and minimise risk of future limb loss.
