Yew Trees Are Not Temporary

Wayspot Title: The Courts Garden Main Lawn Yew Topiary

Location (lat/lon): 51.354854,-2.20102

City: Holt

Country: UK

Screenshot of the Rejection Email:

This is a nomination for a row of Yew Trees in a National Trust site. They are known as the Dancing Bears or Drunken Monks and are over 100 years old. They are maintained as they are part of a botanical garden.

I first submitted them before the new web submission existed. Now I would have included the photos of the guide book below as secondary supporting images.

The appeal team said they were “a temporary plant decoration with no significance”, which I know is stock reply but makes me chuckle. Here are more images to support my appeal:

Oh I remember this one, it’s an incredibly cool feature of the garden and definitely not temporary- those yew trees will live longer than the building will last!! I hope you get this overturned

Hi @tomwe
I’ve moved your topic to Nomination Support because the category Wayspot Appeals is for appealing rejected removal requests or to ask for reinstating removed wayspots.

I do hope too that the decision will be overturned, looks really cool.

I realise there is no where here I have written I am asking for it to be overturned. That IS why I am posting this, Niantic Team! Please consider.

I was hoping you’d have got an answer on this…

@NianticAaron tagging in case you just haven’t seen this

It’s been long deleted, but the old forum (maybe even from the OPR one) staff NianticCasey had said topiaries could be eligible.

There does appear to be enough context provided here to support cause for exploration.

Thank you. Oh I’ve had Topiary accepted before, which is why I nominated this tree row.
