Planning applications in South Oxfordshire, June 2014

Thames Bank House, High Street, Whitchurch on Thames, Oxon, RG8 7DB

T1 - Mature Sycamore Removal of mature Sycamore in our front drive. Although I am of the opinion that a mature tree of whatever species has a role to play in enhancing and contributing to a street scene, particularly so in a conservation area, I am putting in my application to you because there is a mature beech tree 2 metres behind the sycamore and therefore its removal should not have a detrimental effect on the area. I feel that without the sycamore, the beech will be able to grow well and be a long living specimen adding to the conservation area for decades to come. I am also concerned that the sycamore is leaning towards the house and that there is a rotten area where there used to be a large branch. Obviously I am not in a position to assess the last two points, but feel that the removal of one of the two mature trees is reasonable long term management of the area. We are extremely keen to enhance and maintain the character of the conservation area particularly following the removal of a signficant number of trees adjacent to our property resulting in the loss of the verdent nature of the site. Indeed we have already planted smaller trees such as hawthorn and also a pine and a beech further along the drive, the latter to tie in with the mature beech by the road. I hope you will see this request as a considered request with an aim to further enhance the area. Remarks:
