Planning application
The Chestnuts Main Street Mollington OX17 1BQ
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Please identify the trees Corkscrew Hazel (T1) - plan to fell because it causes excessive shading to the house (into the living room) and prevents successful growth of vegetation beneath. Common Holly (T2) - plan to fell because it causes excessive shading to the house (into the living room) and prevents successful growth of vegetation beneath. Violet tree (T4) - plan to fell because it is partially dead and gives little foliage. The trees are not subject to Tree Preservation Orders but are situated within a designated conservation area
