Planning application

Westfield Farm Shepherds Close Weston On The Green OX25 3RF

Awaiting decision Cherwell 26/00898/TCA Works To Trees In Conservation Area

Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

London Plane (T1) - fell due to encroachment on neighbouring property and threat to boundary wall. Replace with slower going smaller tree more suitable for the location. Silver Birch (T2) - fell due to increasing damage to historic wall less than 0.5 metres away. Replace in part of the garden away from the wall. Hornbeam (T3) - Reduce and thin crown to deal with encroachment of branches on the structure of the farmhouse. The crown reduction would be around 5- 8 metres and thinning by about 30%.

As published by the council, reference 26/00898/TCA
