Planning application

Blencowe Stratford Road A422 Drayton OX15 6EH

Granted Cherwell 26/00001/TCA Works To Trees In Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Amended 12.01.26 - Spoke with Applicant and confirmed tree is a Conifer Conifer - The tree is located directly beneath overhead power lines, which poses a risk to electrical safety, especially during high winds. Its root system runs alongside and likely beneath our incoming water supply pipe, creating a risk of damage and making future maintenance access difficult. The tree is also positioned very close to the house, and due to its height and spread now represents a potential hazard to the building. For these safety-related reasons, we are seeking approval for the removal of the tree.
