Planning application

4 Beechcroft, Dorchester on Thames, Oxon, OX10 7LS

Refused South Oxfordshire P21/S3708/TPO Works to TPO

Works: Trees

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

T2 - Sycamore - remove Sycamore to ground level. We would like to remove this Sycamore as the neighbour's cottage is getting damaged as the tree is too close. It's causing really bad moss problems. I have put proof from the thatcher, we will replant a new tree in the centre of the garden so the cottage can get more sunlight on the roof.

As published by the council, reference P21/S3708/TPO

    Ash I would like to remove, what I believe to be an Ash tree from the back garden hopefully in the autumn. My back garden is very small and the tree takes up a consierable amount of room as well as blocking out light both for me and the neighbours at the back of me. I purchased the house earlier in the year and I have been told by neighbours at the back that they have been asking the previous owner for many years to cut it back. The fence behind the trunk backs onto a private alleyway and is encroaching into that. My intention is to have raised beds where the trunk is so that I can grow vegetables. I am unable to grow anything in the soil as it is at the moment due to the excessive amount of ivy and the way the soil has been pushed up probably due to the sheer size of the trunk. Please provide permission for the removal. Remarks:
