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.

29 North Street Banbury OX16 3LH
A crab apple tree situated within the small front garden. The tree has become overgrown and disproportionately large for the confined garden area, with a dense crown extending close to the house and over the front garden. Its size and position make the garden difficult to maintain and reduce light to the front elevation and adjoining windows. The proposal is to remove the tree and stump and restore the front garden
