Planning application

All Souls Cottage 5 Church Lane Lewknor Watlington OX49 5TP

Decided South Oxfordshire P26/S3342/TCA Works to trees in CA

Works: Trees

Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.

Proposal

T1 Ash - Reduce the height of the secondary scaffold limbs forming the upper crown by up to 2 metres. Reduce the overextended lateral branches by up to 3 metres to alleviate end-weight and reduce wind loading, whilst maintaining a balanced and natural crown form. T2 Silver Birch - Reduce the height and spread of the tree by up to 1.5 metre, approximately back to the previous pruning points. Reasons for works - T1 is a mature tree with extensive basal hollowing and evidence of a previous primary limb failure, resulting in an unbalanced crown and associated decay within the main stem. The proposed reduction is intended to alleviate end-weight, reduce loading on the remaining structure, and aid in the long-term retention of the tree. T2 forms part of a routine maintenance programme and is proposed in accordance with the previous management regime to maintain the tree at an appropriate size and condition.
