Planning application

Thornham St James C Of E Primary School Castleton Road Royton Oldham OL2 6XT

Awaiting decision Oldham HHC/356444/26

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

1). Two large trees at the rear of the house on the school grounds shower the house with debris and block all the light outside. The debris blocks drains and gutters requiring frequent clearing, the trees are approx 15m high. 2), The Laurel hedge alongside the east edge of my garden is now over 3.5m high resulting in blockage of light and debris in my garden. 3). The school recently planted (2 years ago) a hedgerow along the school perimeter and this in places is now approaching 3m high in places and needs cutting back. 4). The large ash tree is also a major risk to my house and personnel, it is diseased.
