Awaiting decision Cherwell Works To Trees In Conservation Area

Proposal

.T1 - Mature Ash - Approx 12m in height .Preposed Work - Fell .Reason for Preposed work - The tree is located on the north corner boundary of the garden. The tree is growing just inside the boundary dry stone wall. the crown overhangs the highway on the north/west side of the wall by approx 5m. The vitality of the tree is poor and in severe decline, most likely due to dieback. The tree has dropped large limbs recently and the duty holders are concerned about the highway. The tree is only going to decline further and therefore we would like to fell. the duty holder is planning on mitigating the loss by planting a group of small trees close to the north/east boundary fence. . T2 - Mature Willow - Approx 12m in height . Preposed work - Crown raising BY approx 4m on the south/west facing growth back to boundary line. . Reason for proposed work - The tree is located just behind the north/east boundary fence in another property's grounds. We are hoping to reduce the growth that exceeds the boundary line with ensuring the pruning will not be in any way detrimental to the tree. My clients have gained permission from the duty holder to carry out the work.

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with Cherwell for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.

The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.

About trees applications

How this application type works

Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

    Old Rectory The Walk Islip OX5 2SD

    Yew Trees – T15 and T16: Whilst the trees are category ‘B2’ they have been substantially pushing on a Grade II listed boundary wall which is directly onto The Walk, resulting in a risk to the general public from collapse. Temporary props have been installed, but it is considered that a risk remains to the public. The original consented planning application ‘24/01113/F’ hoped to just reduce the canopies of these trees, further subsequent movement of the wall now necessitates the need to remove these trees on safety grounds. As set out in the attached structural engineer’s report, the tree roots are contributing to the movement of the wall – leading to a critical safety matter as the wall would fall into a public space. This risk would remain if the wall were to be rebuilt, due to the proximity of the roots. Consequently, the wall cannot be made safe or rebuilt without removing these trees and their root systems.
