Planning application
Wellsprings Orchard Wellsprings Brightwell-cum-sotwell Wallingford OX10 0RN
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
TPO number 06S21 Horse chestnut (T2). Crown lifting and thinning by 10% to remove obstruction to stove flue. Also, not covered by a TPO but in a conservation area - request to remove a dead hornbeam in front garden. We lost a silver birch to honey fungus a few years ago and we suspect this has killed the hornbeam as well.
