The Old Vicarage 40 High Street Bourn Cambridgeshire CB23 2TR
Proposal
To fell sycamore tree. The tree was severely damaged in the spring storms of this year, causing one trunk of a three stemmed sycamore to break off completely causing damage to graves in the adjacent cemetery. The tree shows severe signs of rot including fungal growth which has been evident for many years probably decades.
