Planning application
P14/V3099/TCA
5 St Michaels House, Priory Road, Wantage, Oxon, OX12 9DE
Proposal
T1 - Mature flowering Cherry Tree Mature flowering Cherry tree, marked T1 on attached plan. The proposed work is to lift the lower crown of the tree to a height of 3 metres, in order to clear access along the adjoining footpaths and to reduce weight on the lower limbs of the tree. This tree is now over-mature, and has long lower branches that are at risk of breaking. It is also proposed that we will fit a cable brace from the centre of the crown to the low branch that extends towards No.7 St Michaels, to reduce the likelihood of future breakage. Ths branch is wounded and partially decayed near its base, but its complete removal would leave the tree looking unbalanced. Two other branches on the tree have already been cable braced in a similar manner. Remarks:

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.
