Planning application

11 Aston Park, Aston Rowant, OX49 5SW

Decided South Oxfordshire P26/S0567/TPO Works to TPO

Works: Trees

Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.

Proposal

Cedar of Lebanon on the island at the end of the cul-de-sac - fell. The tree has undergone regular surveys and testing dating back to 2006. In 2006 it was concluded that the tree was likely to have major basal decay and significant decay within the stem. In 2023 the testing concluded that the trunk of the tree was marginally within the limits of structural integrity (although that isn't to say the tree could not fail nevertheless). In 2024 further testing concluded that decay appears to have extended since the previous test. There has been historic limb failures including a particularly large limb. Expert opinion is in accord that the tree is reaching the end of its safe useful life expectancy and that regrettably the tree should be felled with a replacement tree being provided in the same position.

    Henley College Deanfield Avenue Henley-on-thames RG9 1UH

    Ash (T2 of TPO 09/2019) - Reduce back crown over single storey block D4 by a maximum of 4m at its widest point (work mainly relates to over extended limbs over roof). Reduce back low branches over the roof to create 3m clearance. Cutback branches from front of the adjacent building (D6) to create 2-3m clearance. To help balance the crown, reduce remaining crown by approx. 2m. To avoid altering the balance of the tree as a whole, the crown of the tree should be reduced in proportion to its original shape. All pruning cuts must be made at branch junctions, leaving sufficient live growth to maintain or enhance crown form.
