P26/S1945/TCA Decided
1 Orchard Walk Watlington OX49 5RD
T106 Cedar of Lebanon Observations: Overall good health, although is situated in a tarmac carpark, adjacent to blocked paving and within close proximity to a care home. As a result of the large size of the tree, the roots have created an uneven surface on both the footpath and car park. Residents are reported to have tripped over, thus creating a health and safety concern. The hard surfaces and weight of the parked cars is likely to have caused soil compaction, and some root damage is already visible. Recommendations: Removal of the tree and primary root system would allow for surfaces to be levelled to mitigate the risk of injury - with a possibility of replanting. The full dismantle and removal of the tree. We have been asked by the client to emphasise the H&S issues as lots of the elderly residents have fallen over on the roots.

1-7 Orchard Walk Love Lane Watlington, OX49 5RD
T004 Robinia - Further remedial works, following branch failure. The branch appears to have fallen as a result of lack of support from the removed, failed section of the crown. This is suggested by rubbing wound on the fallen branch when paired with the location on the tree from which the branch fell from. Recommendation: Reduction of up to 3m of the remainder of the tree to reduce the sail effect and rebalance the tree. T116 Cherry - Tree has significantly deteriorated since the survey in December 2024 and is almost now dead – it is visibly in poor form and there is significant defoliation. Recommendation: Given the proximity of the footpath and safety concerns, it is recommended to fell to ground level.
