Planning application

14 Rooks Lane, Thame, Oxon, OX9 2EA

Decided South Oxfordshire P14/S4147/TCA Works to trees in CA

Works: Trees

Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.

Proposal

H1 - Conifers T1 - Sycamore T2 - Cherry H1 Conifers - to fell to ground level. To grind stump to 150-200mm below ground level, leaving grindings on site spread out or heaped near base. Remove all garden prunings from site. T1 - Sycamore - to side of property, tree is approx 2m from property and is approx 18 ft high. Tree is in good vigour and health. There are no signs of subsidence or heave, tree is growing through BT line and is touching roof. T2 - Cherry - in rear on side of property. Tree is approx 1m from property and is approx 15ft tall. Tree is in good vigour and health and there are no signs roots are doing any damage. In my opinion the Sycamore and Cherry are too close to property and in the future will become a problem. I would recommend that both trees are felled to ground level. Remarks:

    Henley College Deanfield Avenue Henley-on-thames RG9 1UH

    Ash (T2 of TPO 09/2019) - Reduce back crown over single storey block D4 by a maximum of 4m at its widest point (work mainly relates to over extended limbs over roof). Reduce back low branches over the roof to create 3m clearance. Cutback branches from front of the adjacent building (D6) to create 2-3m clearance. To help balance the crown, reduce remaining crown by approx. 2m. To avoid altering the balance of the tree as a whole, the crown of the tree should be reduced in proportion to its original shape. All pruning cuts must be made at branch junctions, leaving sufficient live growth to maintain or enhance crown form.
