Planning application
The Clubhouse Kirtlington Park Polo Club Akeman Street Kirtlington OX5 3JQ
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
FIVE DAY NOTICE Standing dead trees x4 sooty bark disease causing the trees to become brittle. Given the public use of the area for parking and picnicing, the suggestion to fell is recommended before failure causes risk of damage or danger. A suggestion is to replace with a native alternative less susceptible to sooty bark or ash dieback (common diseases in local area) - subject to TPO 23/2025
As published by the council, reference 26/01670/TPO_5
