   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 17 September 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   Cherwell took a median of 57 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with Cherwell for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.

The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.

A lawful development certificate is a legal determination, not a planning judgement. It asks the council to confirm either that existing use or works are lawful, often through the passage of time, or that a proposal would not need planning permission at all. The applicant must prove the facts; the merits of the scheme are not considered.

  1 x Small Poplar 15m high has failed at the base of the tree and is resting on the larger 25m Poplar next to it. The small Poplar needs removing completely as the base of the trunk has failed. It it falls away from its current supporting branches, it will fall onto the BT line of the neighbouring property. The larger Poplar needs removing or pollarding right down to the first split as there is evidence of hornet moth activity at the base, and water ingress following previous damage. We have had quotes from 2 arboriculture companies, who have both recommended removal of both trees. We have other sapling trees currently growing in pots (cotoneaster and holly) which we would plant to replace these trees. The location of the trees is marked by red dots on the accompanying information.
