Planning application

The Spinney, Sotwell Street, Brightwell cum Sotwell, Wallingford, OX10 0RH

Decided South Oxfordshire P16/S4401/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 - Beech T2 - Lawson Cypress Hedge 1 - Beech T1 - Beech. Climbing inspection to assess cable brace. Adjust as necessary. Evenly reduce the lateral spread by approximately 2m around the perimeter of the canopy to reduce the weight from the main limbs currently braced together. The unions are included and weak and fibre buckling has occurred on these scaffold limbs since the tree was braced in 2003. Its long term safety is paramount as it overhangs the property and the neighbouring property. T2 - Lawson Cypress - fell to ground level. This tree is multi-stemmed and is situated mainly internally to the site. Whilst it provides structure to the immediate surroundings and screens the new build from the neighbouring prperty, its movement in the recent high winds has let to concern for its safety now that it is maturing and getting larger. It will be replaced by a semi mature heavy standard tree which will help to ensure the continuity of tree cover in this area. Hedge 1 - Beech - restoration prune to reduce in height, re-shape and tidy. This hedge has been neglected in recent years and is becoming gappy. The aim is to restore it so that it appears as good bounary screen and to underplant with yew to bolster its screening and biodiversity. Remarks:

  • P26/S4354/TPO Granted

    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.
