Planning application

Highwell, Warborough Road, Letcombe Regis, Wantage, OX12 9LE

Decided Vale of White Horse P14/V2975/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

Various remedial works to trees. The site is densely planted with many trees. This management plan has been produced in order to help the new owners maintain and manage their tree stock appropriately. It is therefore a long term plan - with urgent, intermediate and long term works. The owners would like to submit this management plan so that they can start to manage the site over the next few years. Ideally over the next 8 years (2014 - 2022). We would like to have to avoid having to apply for consent every time a tree requires management. Only the management recommendations without this report are required. If additional work needs to be done as a result of unforeseen circumstances in the futre (storm damage etc) then a new Section form will be completed. Please see pages 14, 15 and 16 for details of the work required. Urgent Arboricultural Works T2 - Holly - remove to ground level.
