Planning application
The Rosary, High Street, Beckley, OX3 9UU
Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
Poplar - T1 - Remove due to the proximity to neighbouring house and garden of Glen Ray, to which it is creating significant shade to the small garden, and anxiety for neighbours due to its dominating size and location, combined with fast growth rate. Willow - T2 - Pollard to approximately 2m final height, to improve the weight distribution for subsequent regrowth. Field Maple - T3 - Remove to a 2m remaining stem, due to significant overhang, shading and branches dropping on neighbouring side Brookwood House, whilst still retaining to provide screening. English Walnut - T4 - Crown reduction predominantly to large leaning stem to Eastern side, removing approximately 3-4m in branch length, to significantly reduce the weight and leverage on the union, on the over elongated side. Remaining crown reduced by approx. 2m in branch length to balance.

T1 - Willow tree T1 - Willow tree adjacent to stream at bottom of rear garden. This tree has lost 2 significant branches in the last 2.5 years, both during periods of strong winds. In both cases additional damage to other branches was caused. Our Tree Surgeon (Lloyd Berry-Jones - Lloyd's Tree Services) has recommended a 5 to 6 metre reduction to over extended lateral branches to reduce the wind stress factor and hopefully avoid the loss of further branches.
