Planning application

Flat 4 18 Calthorpe Road Banbury OX16 5HS

Granted Cherwell 26/00885/TPO Works To Tree Preservation Order

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

T1 - Acer pseudoplatanus - Reduce overall canopy by approximately 30% (3-4m to be removed leaving remaining canopy @ approximately 12m tall). This tree has been previously reduced and this is our target height, pruning work shall be carried out in accordance to BS3998:2010 and all major deadwood (over 50mm in diameter) will be removed. It has been noted that there are a few, smaller insignificant branches within the canopy that are crossing and rubbing on larger diameter branches, these are to be removed due to damage seen on the cork cambium layer - subject to TPO 09/2005

What a grant of permission means

The process from here

Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.

Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.

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.

    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
