The YEW tree shown on 1) & 2) of the attached document is the tree in question, 3) shows the poor condition of the tree in general. This tree is located within the grounds of the church on the Churchway (public road) boundary opposit to domestic dwellings and the end of the boughs are within 5 meters of the garden wall to these houses. There are 2 boughs which overhang the road as shown in 4) which also shows that the tree is adjacent to the steps from Churchway to the churchyard, an area frequented by churchgoers and public. Within the last year a bough has broken and damaged the fence 6), last week a bough snapped in the wind landing in the churchyard 5). During any windy periods the boughs of the tree creak, signifcantly bending and causing concern for the safety of those living or walking nearby. We have been advised to remove back to the trunk both overhanging boughs 4) and to remove all dead wood as can be reached within the tree canopy.
