Sidmouth Arboretum > and Knowle

The Arboretum will be planting at Knowle: 
Futures Forum: Sidmouth Arboretum > tree planting, tree trail leaflets, guided walks and raising of awareness

There have been, however, several issues around trees at Knowle, including:
Futures Forum: A new plaque for the historic ginkgo in the Knowle park ..... “There is no need to make a TPO, as it is not at risk from untoward management or removal.”

It should all be about the 'celebration of trees' - as highlighted in this piece a year ago from the Save Our Sidmouth site:

Instead, there are fears for the future of the arboreal heritage at Knowle:
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: green corridor
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: planting lots of trees in mitigation for felling existing trees
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project > Pegasus planning application 16/0872/MFUL > Policies D1, D2 and D3 >>> Trees

Here is the full submission to the latest planning application from the Arboretum, which details these concerns:
