Planning application
Manor House 6 Mill Street Islip OX5 2SZ
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T1 Weeping Willow Neighbour's tree over hanging boundary of rear garden. Prune all overhanging branches back to boundary line. This will require the removal of approximately 1-1.5 metres of material to achieve. However in order to retain a balanced and aesthetically pleasing shape to the tree it is suggested branches are pruned back to suitable growth points where possible or on smaller diameter branches with no suitable growth point to go back to the old pollard point, whilst retaining a balanced and flowing shape.

T1 Yew - to remove lowest rung of branches, all round to balance , giving two meter clearance of building. It is thought that to reduce the tree would not be prudent , so applying for crown lifting to create more light in space under the tree and make it less dominant over the building.
