Planning application

The Old Rectory Church Street Somerton

Refused Cherwell 24/02878/TCA Works To Trees In Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

T1 Pine - Carefully sectional dismantle and fell to ground level. Having discussed with our surveyors here at Nicholson’s, we’ve concluded that as the Corsican Pine is already in decline (and due to the species) it isn’t going to respond well to any form of pruning/reduction.

As published by the council, reference 24/02878/TCA
