Planning application

Hill House, High Street, Kingston Blount, OX39 4SJ

Decided South Oxfordshire P26/S0499/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

G1 Lawson Cypress & Leyland Cypress - Fell to ground level. T4 Crown lift by raising the branch tips to 2.25 metres above ground level. Reasons for works: G1: The removals are proposed as the trees have become oversized for the space and can no longer be maintained at an appropriate size for their location. Given the species, they are not suitable for heavy reduction; therefore, removal is the only viable option. T4: The works are proposed to allow more light and space beneath the tree, making the garden more accessible.
