Church Of St Peter And St Paul, Church Street, Wadhurst, TN5 6AR
Proposal
THE TREE LOCATION OF THE TREE IS IDENTIFIED ON THE ATTACHED PLAN AND IS APPROXIMATELY 20 WEST OF THE CHURCH. THE TREE IS A CYPRESS CONIFER APPROXIMATELY 6M TALL X 3M WIDE. IT IS ADJACENT TO A LARGE LIME TREE AND A YEW AND IS OUT OF KEEPING WITH ALL THE INDIGENOUS TREES IN THE CHURCHYARD. IT ALSO OCCUPIES VALUABLE SPACE IN OUR CHURCHYARD WHICH IS VERY NEARLY FULL AND SO WE WISH TO BE ABLE TO USE THIS SPACE FOR BURIALS FOR PARISH RESIDENTS RATHER THAN FACE IMMINENT CLOSURE OF THE CHURCHYARD.
