July 2005 ... There is still time to send objections to the local Council who give approval to such plans at
Mendip District Council, Cannards Grave Road, Shepton Mallet, Somerset BA4 5BT
the holy site is most definitely under thrreat as the excavation work etc that will be needed to build the houses on the steep slope beneath the tree may well destabilise the land .. also although you cannot see the area for the proposed houses from the tree you only have to walk a few paces away from ti before you are standing on land that will be removed for the housing. Don't let people fool you into thinking the threat isn't there, it most certainly is ... and not only to the holy Thorn tree, but the sacredness of the hill itself ... not to mention many other beautiful, mature trees that will die, badgers, wild birds etc disturbed.
