About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

Field House, 5 Fish Ponds Lane, Thame, Oxon, OX9 2BA
5 x Willow trees 1 x Walnut tree Reduce height and crown of 5 Willow trees to 50% of current size. Fell Walnut tree and replace with smaller, more manageable ornamental tree with smaller root system. The Walnut tree needs to be felled, because it is within 4 metres of our garage and I suspect it may soon be affecting its foundations. The spread of the tree is already such that it touches the roof of the garage and, if not substantially cut back, every year, would by now have grown into the roof structure. It is, in short, too large for the space which it occupies. Remarks:

T2 Olive - Reducing the height and spread of the tree by up to 1 metre. G3 Pleached Hornbeam X3 - Reduce the height of the line of trees by up to 1.25⿯m and prune the side growth by up to 0.5⿯m. G4 Magnolia x3 - Reducing the height and spread of the tree by up to 1.5 metre T6 Silver Birch - Fell to ground level. G7 Silver Birch x4 - Fell the trees nearest the garage and the second tree in from the gate to ground level. Crown reduce the two remaining trees by up to 1.5⿯m in height to achieve a more uniform appearance. These works are planned as part of the regular maintenance of the garden. The removal of the three Silver Birch trees is due to their unsuitable planting locations. Removing these trees will allow the remaining trees to establish more effectively and improve the overall amenity value of the garden.
