Planning application
The Barn House, 46 Lower Icknield Way, Chinnor, OX39 4EB
Works: Trees
Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.
Proposal
G1 Pines x 8 Fell to retain pecking post @ 1 metres from ground level 2 of the group are smaller suppressed trees, several trees lean towards the neighbouring property which is within 5 m from G2. 3 trees lean heavily over the neighbouring property, one of them being twin stemmed which heavily hangs directly over the adjacent property. G2 used to have a thick protection of dense overgrown shrubs and smaller trees to the west of G2 softening the mechanical wind loading to the pines of G2, since this protective barrier of trees and shrubs has been removed G2 will be exposed to new wind dynamics. The prevailing wind comes from the south west which blows off the field directly into the garden and directly at G2. The garden is a big open space providing no barrier from the prevailing wind. Considering the extremely close proximity of the adjacent property (within 5 m), the lean direction of the the trees over the property, the size of the trees and the new wind dynamics client is requesting trees be felled.

P26/S3994/TCA Decided
7 Vicarage Road Henley-on-thames RG9 1HF
There are two trees in the front garden Permission is requested to fell both trees. Tree 1 = Weeping Birch Tree Tree 2 = Maple Tree Weeping Birch (Tree 1) This has become too large for the site, the roots are lifting the paving around it, making it a trip hazard. Roots have also entered the nearby drains, causing problems. Permission is sought to fell the tree, to make safe access to the property and to make space on the driveway for off street parking. (There is a nearby primary school, and parking can be a challenge.) Maple (Tree 2) This tree has also become too big for its location, which is very close to the boundary of No. 5 and No. 7 Vicarage Rd, causing lifting of the paving around it. It is also very close to both houses. Permission is sought to fell this tree.
