Planning application

The Queens Cottage, 5 road running through Toot Baldon, Toot Baldon, OX44 9NG

Decided South Oxfordshire P26/S0479/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

Two cherry trees that are hanging dangerously over the road. T1 has been consistently hit by high sided traffic. Both T1 and T2 have loose roots and could potentially fall. Work advised by Elm Park Tree Services, arborists, is to cut main trunk of both trees to before the strong upright growth thereby eliminating pull on roots and danger of falling onto road or pedestrians. This will leave the trees alive but safe. Positioning of cuts proposed shown on attached photograph.
