Planning application

18 High Street, Wallingford, Oxon, OX10 0BP

Decided South Oxfordshire P14/S4415/TCA Works to trees in CA

Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

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

Proposal

1 x Sycamore - adjacent to the boundary fence between 18 & 17 High Street. The tree in question is a large Sycamore situated adjacent to the boundary fence between 18 and 17 High Street, and towards the bottom of the gardens, furthest from the houses. These properties are in the Wallingford Conservation Area, and the rear gardens back onto an area of waste ground at the end of the small Thames Street car park opposite St Peter's Church. Please see attached sketch plan (not to scale) of the immediate area. I also attach photos showing the location and giving some idea of the height and spread of the tree. The tree is now very large and causes excessive shading to the gardens of both 17 and 18 High Street, being at least as high as the length of the gardens. The tree is easily identifiable as it is the only large Sycamore tree in either garden, and grows close to the fence between the gardens. There is currently some garden refurbishment under way in the garden of 18 High Street, near to the tree. I have consulted a local tree surgeon who recently carried out work on a tree in a nearby garden. His advice is to reduce the crown by 40% and I am therefore giving the required six weeks notice of my intention to carry out this work. Remarks:

    28 Vicarage Road Henley-on-thames RG9 1HJ

    T1: Birch: Twin stemmed Birch with a crown break a couple of feet above ground level. This tree has had cobra bracing installed and has previously had a crown reduction undertaken due to the applicants concerns over its safety with its close proximity to their own and neighbouring properties and the high volume of pedestrians who walk past the house particularly during the school pick up and drop off timings. The applicant wishes to reduce the height of the tree by 4 metres, to a point just above the previous pruning points and the lateral branches by up to 1 metre. T2, T3 and T4: Birch: Applicant wishes to carry out a 2m crown reduction of all 3 trees. These trees were planted by the applicant on the basis that they would be maintained as small trees owing to the size of space in this area of the garden and the proximity of buildings.

    7 Vicarage Road Henley-on-thames RG9 1HF

    There are two trees in the front garden Permission is requested to fell both trees. Tree 1 = Weeping Birch Tree Tree 2 = Maple Tree Weeping Birch (Tree 1) This has become too large for the site, the roots are lifting the paving around it, making it a trip hazard. Roots have also entered the nearby drains, causing problems. Permission is sought to fell the tree, to make safe access to the property and to make space on the driveway for off street parking. (There is a nearby primary school, and parking can be a challenge.) Maple (Tree 2) This tree has also become too big for its location, which is very close to the boundary of No. 5 and No. 7 Vicarage Rd, causing lifting of the paving around it. It is also very close to both houses. Permission is sought to fell this tree.
