Whilst this is a laudable idea it is fraught with problems not least of which is that children do like to climb and play on trees and although the trees have recently had Tree Preservation Orders (TPO) placed on them they are relatively old and are no longer deemed fit for use as part of a commercial orchard.
The parish council is concerned that these trees may already be unsafe and that even if funding for their maintenance is secured at planning stage that inevitably the burden of ensuring the trees are safe, inspected and maintained regularly will fall to the parish over time.
