About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

1 Church Meadow Road Running Past 1 And 2 Church Meadow Watlington OX49 5AG
G1 Twin Stem Ash x2 - Fell to ground level and grind out stumps. Reasons for works: The two trees originate from old coppice stools which show signs of internal decay. In addition, both trees are displaying signs of reduced crown vitality consistent with Ash Dieback, which is prevalent throughout the surrounding block of woodland. Due to the location of the trees adjacent to the footpath, removal is recommended to mitigate the risk of failure and to allow for the replanting of alternative species within the area.
