Planning application

St John The Baptist Church Church Lane Hornton OX15 6BY

Granted Cherwell 26/01353/TCA Works To Trees In Conservation Area

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

T1 Magnolia. - Reduce back to previous points removing up to 2m in height and 1.5m from spread. T2 Lilac. - Reduce removing up to 1m from height and spread. Situated near the main entrance of the church these two trees from a combined canopy. They are becoming too large for the space. 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. We would like to relieve weight and spread to ensure they stay standing.
