P26/S0886/TCA Decided
Garsington Manor, 28 Southend, Garsington, OX44 9DH
T1 Cherry - Tree by herb garden in manor house grounds. Reduce lowest limb with decay present at mid point by up to 2 metres to relieve stress on decayed section. This will avoid leaving a large wound on the main stem and would not unduly stress the tree. Tree has a ganoderma decay bracket present at base (herb garden side) and will already be stressed by this pathogen. Tree likely to require removal in less than 10 years. Reason for above work Good arboricultural practices as the owner wants to keep the tree as long as possible.

M1 - Magnolia - pruning to remove encroachment onto house and overhead cable. Minor shaping of low hanging branches. (by a maximum of 1m). M3 - Magnolia - fell - tree too large for current position. Replant with a fruit tree (likely to be plum). H1 - Horse Chestnut, H2 - Holly, C1, C2, C3 - Conifers - Fell - trees have outgrown their space, are overcrowded and are too large for this position. They are also contributing to shade on the thatched roof of house 14 & subsequent moss build up on the Grade 2 listed property. These border trees will be replaced instead by a more appropriate hedgerow (dog rose, hornbeam or beech) to provide a better habitat for local wildlife. M2 - Magnolia (belongs to 14 Southend) and S1 - sycamore (belongs to 16 Southend), will remain as they are and are shown on the diagram only for reference.
