Shropshire church's plan to fell four cherry trees that have 'outgrown' their home
Four trees will be chopped down
A church in Newport wants to give four trees the chop.
Trinity Church in Newport has asked Telford & Wrekin Council for permission to chop down four trees at the site.
According to documents submitted to the local authority, the United Reformed Trusts Limited wants to undertake a series of work on trees near the church on Wellington Road.
The work would include removing a number of branches on a lime tree and chopping down four cherry trees.
The application states: “These trees have outgrown their location in the thin strip of ground between the tarmac car park and an old stone wall.”
The full application can be viewed online on Telford & Wrekin’s planning portal using the reference number: TWC/2026/0202
