Planning application
Hillside Cottage, Church Hill, Forest Hill, Oxford, OX33 1EG
Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
T1 - Ash TG2 - 2 x Prunus T3 - Yew T4 - Ash T1 - Ash (10m height) - fell to ground level due to blocking light to the house, dominating upper garden with close proximity to house and low amenity value. TG2 - 2 no Prunus (3m height respectively) - fell both trees to ground level due to over topping from mature oak and poor form. T3 - Yew (4m height) - partial crown reduction of south western over extended branches by up to 1m back to suitable growth points into thicker natural canopy line. T4 - Ash (18m height) - overall crown reduction by 1-2m where appropriate growth points present and in accordance to BS3998 tree work standards. Tree currently blocks S/SW light entrance to garden and house - thinning the somewhat naturally 'lions-tailed' existing canopy appears a less effective option. *Possibly outside the conservation area as growing on the boundary line.* Remarks:
