The cathedral has said it understands people's concerns but the structure would deliver necessary facilities. David Winpenny, co-chairman of the society, said it was "very disappointed" the cathedral had decided to "take away an important open space in the city". The cathedral said: "We understand people's concerns around the removal of 11 trees, but the building will deliver a range of much-needed facilities for the people of Ripon and visitors, along with the cathedral community."
