Planning application
5 Old School Lane Steeple Claydon Buckinghamshire MK18 2SB
Works: Trees
Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.
Proposal
Oak Tree. Heavy pruning to branches (pollarding) as they are overhanging close to residential property (Within 5 metres). There will be a minimum of 4 metres off the top of the crown and all the way around a minimum of 2.5 metres off. Branches have fallen and damaged roof tiles because the tree is twice the height of the residential property.
