Planning application

Sydenham Playing Field, opposite Thatchings, Sydenham, OX39 4LJ

Decided South Oxfordshire P15/S4547/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

T1 - Wild Cherry Tree Remove one tree where currently there are three in close proximity to each other. The proposal is to remove the middle tree in order to allow the remaining two to thrive. In addition, these trees overhang wooden play equipment which in the damp shade of the trees can cause the equipment to become slippery. Removing one of these trees will alleviate this situation. The tree concerned is a Wild Cherry tree. Remarks:

    The Prebendal, Priest End, Thame, OX9 3AA

    T1 Horse Chestnut Twin stemmed from 4 metres Stem overhanging the drive has had a large limb fail due to a poor branch attachment with some decaying material present. The wound has revealed further decay of the stem from where it came. The growth above this wound is significant and very likely to fail at some point but is likely to be extremely vulnerable during weather events as we move into the Autumn / Winter period. We recommend reducing this stem to sound the wood below the damaged and decayed area, and reduce the remainder of tree to the same height by approximately 8 metres.
