Planning application
Flat 4 18 Calthorpe Road Banbury OX16 5HS
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
