Tree Removal In Saintfield Community Park

Over the coming weeks you may notice some work being carried out to the buildings in the Saintfield Community Park site.  The former windmill, flour mill, and miller’s cottage are of great historical importance, and are in fact on a Scheduled Monument site.  This means that the utmost care must be taken to protect and stabilise the buildings and any work undertaken to do so must be approved by the Historic Environment Division. We have obtained Scheduled Monument Consent from HED to remove trees and their roots that are threatening the stability of the buildings. Without this intervention the buildings might eventually collapse.
