Planning application
Shell Petrol Station London Road Headington Oxford Oxfordshire OX3 7RD
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Works to 1no Horse Chestnut tree as identified by PJL Group Limited in the Oxford City Council - London Road (No. 4) Tree Preservation Order, 2005 For the epicormic growth, we propose pruning cuts to remove and to continue annual monitoring. For the north side of the street encroaching on the forecourt canopy, we propose limited reduction pruning (no more than 300mm) to keep the few limbs away from the canopy structure. In addition, we also request permission to continue with the very same repeated works annually in March each year for the next 10 years.

The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
