Supporting documents lodged with the application state that the site is a popular open space in St Andrews with the quad now dominated by the large holm oak.

It features memorial benches and a statue of Bishop Wardlaw in the southern end of the quad.

The site chosen for the urn is a flower bed, formed with dressed and carved stones from earlier downtakings.

It also lies within the town’s conservation area.

If councillors give the go-ahead, work would take place in late summer/early autumn.
