Planning application

Pear Tree Cottage, Aston Street, Aston Tirrold, OX11 9DJ

Decided South Oxfordshire P21/S4131/TCA Works to trees in CA

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Robinia Tree: We are seeking consent for the full removal of this tree. Upon discovery of a fungus on the trunk base we first consulted a tree surgeon and subsequently Sarah Venners of Venner Arboiculture. Sarah Venners identified the fungus as Ganoderma Resinaceum. She commented: "as the decay is both advanced and extensive, uprooting or stem breakage could occur and so there is a potentially high level of risk associated with retention. Her recommendation is "complete removal of the tree would be the safest thing to do given the high level of risk associated with retention." We note we have a baby and toddler while the proximity of the house to the tree means concern for safety is paramount. We would also note that we purchased the property in February 2021 and so the fungus only became known to us recently despite it being well established. Our intention is to plant another tree in keeping with the landscape.

  • P26/S4354/TPO Granted

    Henley College Deanfield Avenue Henley-on-thames RG9 1UH

    Ash (T2 of TPO 09/2019) - Reduce back crown over single storey block D4 by a maximum of 4m at its widest point (work mainly relates to over extended limbs over roof). Reduce back low branches over the roof to create 3m clearance. Cutback branches from front of the adjacent building (D6) to create 2-3m clearance. To help balance the crown, reduce remaining crown by approx. 2m. To avoid altering the balance of the tree as a whole, the crown of the tree should be reduced in proportion to its original shape. All pruning cuts must be made at branch junctions, leaving sufficient live growth to maintain or enhance crown form.
