P26/S1450/LDP

   Received by South Oxfordshire

2. 30 Jun 2026

   Decision issued: Refusal of Certificate of Lawful Use or Development

3. 29 Jul 2026

   Added to PlanIndex

The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.

Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.

A lawful development certificate is a legal determination, not a planning judgement. It asks the council to confirm either that existing use or works are lawful, often through the passage of time, or that a proposal would not need planning permission at all. The applicant must prove the facts; the merits of the scheme are not considered.

  T1 Cherry - Fell to ground level. T2 Silver Birch - Reduce the height and radial spread of the tree by up to 2 metres, pruning back approximately to the previous reduction points where suitable. T3 Apple - Selectively reduce the height and radial spread of the tree by up to 1.5 metres through the removal of overextended growth, pruning back into the natural crown shape and form. Additionally, carry out a 10% crown thin of the central crown by removing dead, dying, weak, crossing and congested branches where appropriate. T5 Cherry - Selectively reduce overextended limbs extending beyond the natural crown line by up to 2 metres. Additionally, carry out a 10% crown thin of the central crown by removing dead, dying, weak, crossing and congested branches where appropriate. T6 Apple - Remove the compromised limb back to its point of origin or a suitable parent union. T8 Silver Birch - Reduce the height and radial spread of the tree by up to 2 metres. T9 Greengage - Reduce the overall height of the tree by a minimum of 2 metres. T10 Prunus - Fell to ground level. T12 Zelkova - Reduce the height and radial spread of the tree by up to 2 metres, pruning back approximately to the previous reduction points. Reasons for the Proposed Works: T1 – The tree is exhibiting crown decline and has bark delamination and decay at the main union. T2 & T8 – Historic pollarding has resulted in decay and weak pollard unions. Reduction works are proposed to reduce loading on these defects. T3 & T5 – To improve crown balance, reduce end-weight, and promote improved fruit production. T6 – The tree is in decline due to the presence of Inonotus hispidus. Works are proposed to reduce the risk of branch failure and retain the tree safely. T9 – To reduce the size of the tree, remove deadwood, and manage declining limbs. T10 – The tree is exhibiting symptoms consistent with Anthracnose infection and is in decline. T12 – To reduce the overall crown size and maintain a balanced, sustainable form appropriate to its setting.
