St John the Baptist Church Main Street East Ayton Scarborough YO13 9HL
Approved
Council decision: No objection following amendments to proposed works
Proposal
Two yew trees on either side of church porch located on south side of the Church, require attention. They have been cut back a few years ago, but have now grown and overhang the path leading to the Moor Lane entrance which is also the designated wheelchair route into the building. The trees also overhang and virtually deny access to path users. Suggested action is to remove the 2 trees and their roots undermining the church porch and prevent continual cutting back to keep the footpath clear. Investigate replacement yew trees to prevent further problems.
