Approved on 9 April 2026

Council decision: No Objection

There are four Lime trees alongside the drive leading down to Holy Trinity Church. Each year we thin one third of the crown to a point above the top of the main stem, to keep the trees a manageable size and rejuvenate them as they overhang a public driveway and the school playground.
