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.

Old Rectory The Walk Islip OX5 2SD
Yew Trees – T15 and T16: Whilst the trees are category ‘B2’ they have been substantially pushing on a Grade II listed boundary wall which is directly onto The Walk, resulting in a risk to the general public from collapse. Temporary props have been installed, but it is considered that a risk remains to the public. The original consented planning application ‘24/01113/F’ hoped to just reduce the canopies of these trees, further subsequent movement of the wall now necessitates the need to remove these trees on safety grounds. As set out in the attached structural engineer’s report, the tree roots are contributing to the movement of the wall – leading to a critical safety matter as the wall would fall into a public space. This risk would remain if the wall were to be rebuilt, due to the proximity of the roots. Consequently, the wall cannot be made safe or rebuilt without removing these trees and their root systems.
