Planning application
The Prebendal Priest End Thame OX9 3AA
Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
T3 & T4 Weeping willow x2 Observations: These trees are asymmetrical and present visible structural damage. There are several overextending lateral limbs which contributes to the trees overall poor form. Selective maintenance required to encourage better growth and bring back into a suitable formation. Recommendations: Remove deadwood and twisted, fallen and damaged branches. Shorten any over extended lateral branches by up to 3m to reduce the risk of further failures.
