Planning application

5 Yew Tree Mews, Abingdon, OX14 1EA

Granted Vale of White Horse P13/V2960/TPO Works to TPO

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

The tree is on property at 5 Yew Tree Mews but overhangs the parking space of No.6 Moorland Court. The tree is regularly maintained by Crosscut Tree Surgeons and was last reduced in 2007. Due to expense I have work done every 10 years. The application is being made purely as a result of the owner of the parking space complaining about pigeon droppings on his car. He is requesting removal of horizontal branches to reduce droppings. The birds roost in all branches. My personal opinion is the birds are the problem, not the tree.

What a grant of permission means

The process from here

Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.

Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.

About trees applications

How this application type works

Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
