Castle End House Castle Street Deddington Banbury OX15 0TE

Awaiting decision Cherwell 26/02469/TCA Works To Trees In Conservation Area

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Yew (T1) - Selective pruning of the yew tree to remove and shorten branches that are currently brushing against and overhanging the roof and gutters of the neighbouring property. The proposed works are limited to the branches causing the current obstruction/contact, with the aim of providing sufficient clearance to prevent foreseeable damage to roof tiles and gutters. At the rear of the yew, the maximum extent of pruning required will be approximately 750mm from the existing branch tips. No general crown reduction or significant reshaping of the tree is proposed. The works will be carried out by a competent tree surgeon using appropriate pruning cuts and in accordance with good arboricultural practice.

    T1 Common Horse Chestnut Tree The tree has been managed in the past with a reduction cycle every 3-4 years. This has kept the tree at a size suitable to its location, albeit a large specimen. I recommend a revisit of previous pruning by removal of 2-3m regrowth around the whole canopy. Removal of major deadwood. Climbing inspection of all major unions and report any findings. All final cuts to be made at suitable points of live growth, all resultant debris to be chipped and removed from site. Reason for recommended works To bring back into scale, Health & Safety and good arboricultural practice
