Planning application
Romeyns Court, Church Road, Great Milton, OX44 7PD
Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
T1 Field Maple, remove to ground level. A section of stone wall directly adjacent to the stem of the tree has recently collapsed. It is difficult to ascertain how much support (if any) the wall was providing to the rooting area, but the tree is inclined towards the nearby neighbouring property and removal will be necessary to repair the wall in any case. Given the proximity to the road and house and the potentially unstable rooting area, I feel that imminent removal under a 5 day notice is an appropriate course of action.
