4.7 Landscaping
There is a small amount of external space around the
new extension, defined by the presence of two existing
trees: a catalpa and a purple crab apple. The extension
follows the line of the existing building to step around
these trees, creating a small courtyard to either side.
KING HENRY'S ROAD
The courtyard to the north of the building will be largely
paved, providing a place for car parking, and making an
important urban threshold to the church. The courtyard
to the south will be largely filled with soft landscaping,
with a variety of plants. The planting around the church
generally is maintained to a high standard.

The rooms in the new extension overlook the trees, and
the view of the seasonal life of the trees will be an
important factor.
Canopy
The new extension will re-use the existing piled
foundations, avoiding further disturbance to the trees.
Where our building sits beyond the line of the existing
foundations, we will use additional screw piles to
support the extension of the existing concrete slab.
The proposed piles are the same distance from the
tree trunks as the existing ones. The pile locations
along the edge of the slab are not fixed, and will be
positioned on site to avoid any roots in the ground.

The crowns of both trees are currently overhanging the
road. They will be pruned to prevent them from being
struck by vehicles, and to fit around our new building.
The Construction Management Plan will follow strict
methodologies for tree protection. An arboriculturalist
tree report accompanies this application.
