Planning application

47 High Street, Watlington, OX49 5PZ

Decided South Oxfordshire P26/S0304/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

Flowering Cherry - to be pollarded. 6M high x 5M wide, to be reduced in height by c2M and width reduced in proportion. Currently top heavy - crown too big for base. NOTE: Cherry is quite urgent because it cannot be cut once in flower so hope to do it this year before flowering. Apple - canopy reduction, but mostly width. Reduce by 1M either side. Branches straggling over into neighbours garden & dropping too many unwanted apples.

As published by the council, reference P26/S0304/TCA
