Decided South Oxfordshire P17/S5089/TPO Works to TPO

Works: Trees

Relates to P16/S3801/FUL

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

Proposal

T17 - Lime - fell. Evidence that extensive diseas (Kretzschmaria deusta) has caused considerable decay affecting the trees structural condition to such an extent foreseeable failure is probable. Recommend for felling by SODC Forestry officer in comment dated 12 Jan 17 in reference to planning consent P16/S3801/FUL. Beech (T2) - fell - classified as over mature and category C (see attached Arboricultural report). Removing will improve conditions for the closely located Yew tree (T1) which is of high amenity value. NB. It is not clear whether T1 or T2 are subject of TPOs, the precautionary assumption is that they are, hence listing the works on T2 here. The felling of a number of non TPO trees will also be taking place as per the attached Arboricultural and Planning Integration Report. Of note is the removal of 4 self seeded Sycamore trees (T9, T11, T12, T14) that impinge on the canopies of TPO beech trees (T8, T10, T13, T15). During the removal of these trees, no heavy machinery will encroach into the Root Protection Areas of the TPO trees (T8, T10, T13, T15). G79 15 Beech 1 Lime 4 Sycamore Spec: S15 Fell tree to ground level. Spec: S20 1x Lime, 1x Beech 10-12cm girth (selected standard) Reason: R1 Sound arboricultural management Reason: R3 Limited safe useful life expectancy Reason: R4 To address potential hazard

The 3 main branches are over 50 metres in length/height. The point where the 3 main branches emerge collects water/leaf litter and is at risk of rot. Due to the great height of the tree, Dave Cottrell (tree surgeon) has advised reducing the height of the 3 branches in question by 1/3 in order to put less stress on the junction point.
