Planning application

9 Walker Close, Woodcote, RG8 0QH

Refused South Oxfordshire P21/S4630/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

Western Red Cedar (T1) - Remove x 2 lower boughs that rub up close to fabric of building contributing to dampness of wall and extensive shade. Gutters constantly overflow as needle frequently fill . Footpath due to damp and moss a continuous slip hazard for ALL residents. The proposed works to removal of just 2 boughs will ameliorate all the above concerns/problems without detriment to the shape, size and aesthetic look of this vergeside tree. The two wounds will be greater in size than normally BS3998(2010) but it will only be two wounds compared to many smaller wounds if an all round crown reduction was to be undertaken. The overall look of the tree will remain of a very natural appearance and the greater gain from 2 wounds over many will be of benefit to the tree. The species Thuja ( western Red Cedar ) is a tree with Hugh resilience and that rejuvenates from pruning wounds much faster than other species of conifer

    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.
