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.

Eastgate Farmhouse Eastgate Hornton OX15 6BT
Proposed Tree Works: Tree Species: 2 x Self-seeded Sycamore Trees Work Required: Felling The two self-seeded sycamore trees have established themselves within a mature group of horse chestnut trees. Both sycamores are heavily overgrown with ivy and are located beneath the canopy of a healthy, well-established horse chestnut. Following consultation with a horticulturist, it has been advised that the area is overly congested, which is negatively impacting the health and growth potential of the horse chestnuts. To support the long-term vitality of the horse chestnut trees, which are a priority for retention, the proposed plan is to fell both sycamores. Due to the existing mature planting and the sheltered location beneath a healthy canopy, replanting is considered unnecessary at this time.

St John The Baptist Church Church Lane Hornton OX15 6BY
T1 Magnolia. - Reduce back to previous points removing up to 2m in height and 1.5m from spread. T2 Lilac. - Reduce removing up to 1m from height and spread. Situated near the main entrance of the church these two trees from a combined canopy. They are becoming too large for the space. Reducing the crown would improve the balance between the tree and the church, contributing positively to the site's visual amenity. G3 Damsons. -Reduce removing 2-3m from heights and biased side. These Damsons are heavily biased towards the churchyard. If left much longer they could fall down and caused damage to people or property. We would like to relieve weight and spread to ensure they stay standing.

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.
