   The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development. Extensions of time are common.

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.

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.
