Planning applications in Vale of White Horse, October 2015

40 Park Road, Abingdon, Oxon, OX14 1DS

T1 - Glinkgo T2 - Maple T3 - Large Apple T1 - Glinkgo - front garden: reduce the height by 2m, lift the crown to give a 2.5m ground clearance. T2 - Maple - rear garden: reduce the crown by 3m. T3 - Large Apple: reduce the height and width by 1.5-2m. Remarks:

St Amands House, Church Street, East Hendred, Wantage, OX12 8LA

T1 - Horse Chestnut G2 - Group planting of Box, Thuja and Yew T1 - Horse Chestnut - mature tree at its full potential, showing good vitality and yearly extension growth with no impact to root area. Good buttress formation and a potentially poor main union can be seen at 2.5m. No adaptive growth noted which could indicate a weakness and given its age, I feel this union to be stable. Previously the tree has been heavily reduced in height. Prior to this, invasive steel cable bracing has been installed to support the main union which is no longer serving any purpose. More recently there has been some work carried out over the road in a more sympathetic manor, although I feel the lateral growth has now become over-extended and is out of balance with the height creating a higher potential of limb failure in future. Recommendations: Reduce selected over extended laterals by up to 1.5-2.5m where appropriate, to suitable secondary growth points leaving a balanced and flowing crown outline. With the roadside portion of the crown, which also overhangs an adjacent property with thatched roof, we will look to reduce the drop line of the canopy away from the thatched roof as much as possible and lift to statutory highways clearance of 5.5m over road area only, leaving th ependulous limbs over the garden as a screen and a flowing crown outline. We would also carry out a climbing inspection of all major limb junctions and remove any major dead wood. Group 2 - Group planting of Box, Thuja and Yew - carry out formative pruning works to improve light levels to garden by hedge cutting as firm as possible, the sides to match the profile of the lower growth, and reduce height by 1-1.5m, possibly reducing the English Yew by 2m.

Wisteria House, Westbrook Street, Blewbury, Nr Didcot, OX11 9QB

Beech tree The tree is a Beech tree. We have had the tree reduced twice in the last 10 years. On both occasions the tree has grown and considerably increased in size. It is almost touching our neighbours property (No.1) and our own property. The size of the tree interferes with the light into our property and so much so we do not use our front room which is extremely dark. We would request removal of the tree to enhance our property and increase the amount of driveway. We are willing to plant a smaller more manageable tree. We will renew the fence which is damaged by the tree and ivy on the tree. We would really appreciate your support and we feel we could enhance the look of the whole frontage, and include a tree (we value your thoughts on which one would be adviseable). Our neighbours would welcome this improvement (neighbours) and we would like to work with you to achieve the best result. Remarks:

2 Woodview Road, Faringdon, Oxon, SN7 8EL

Large tree at bottom of garden of 1 Woodview. There is a large tree at the bottom garden of 1 Woodview. That tree overhangs into 56 Lechlade Road front of house. The closest branches are about 2 metres away from touching the property wall at 56 Lechlade. The base of the tree is about 9-10 metres away from the property. In the past 56 Lechlade has suffered subsidence as a result of trees within 1 Woodview getting out of control in terms of size. This required extensive structural work to the foundations of the property. There is much debris and sap falling onto cars within the boundary of 56 Lechlade such that we are unable to use the front area of our house where the tree hangs over. The owner was contacted in order to come to an arrangement about pruning the tree but is reluctant to do so, citing that the tree is not a bother and it was present long before the house was built. As such the owner refuses to prune the tree at all on his side, or any side for that matter. In addition, the risks are that the overhanging large branches could break causing either damage property or people underneath in the event of a storm of strong winds. The work we intend to do is to cut back the branches which overhang the boundary wall of 1 Woodview/56 Lechlade in a vertical line upwards and return the cuttings to the owner. If the Council believe that this will leave the work on the tree displeasing to the eye, perhaps they could instruct that the owner prunes the tree on his side. Remarks:
