  • P15/V3352/TPO Granted

    Newbury Street, Wantage, Oxfordshire

    I wish to remove 4 heavily (historically) pollarded Lime (Tilia) trees of some 3-4m in height to the pollard and range from 1.8m to 6m from the property, touching or 5-10cm from the boundary wall and fence. The trees are located as follows: 3 to the rear of my garage and 1 in the rear garden of my property, of which this is the most substantial (photo's provided). The trees now stand between 15 and 45 cms below made ground level and in close proximity to property, fences an historic brick boundary wall which is now in poor condition in places. The trees are not only showing signs of extreme stress, hence the adventitious and epicormic growth, but have visible canker rot and cavities, given the excessive and historic pollarding of these trees they have little amenity value or visual appeal with signs of branch failure resulting from repeated pollarding over a number of years. I fully appreciate that the trees, pre-date the property, but given the development is consented and the trees are now left in inappropriate locations which will in time affect the built structures in immediate proximity. I feel it is therefore appropriate to remove them, and replant with suitable species in the adjacent woodland copse covered by the same TPO located in Woodlands Brook. This area is managed on the collective residents behalf by Meadfleet. I will attach several pictures showing location, context, proximity to buildings and structures and condition where visible. I would be delighted to meet on site to further explain the context and if needed secure further evidence. I am not able to draw a diagram through the portal but will attach a plan or will email direct. G2 9 Common Lime Spec: S1 Reduce crown by a maximum of n% and reshape Reason: R1 Sound arboricultural management Reason: R2 To ensure future compatibility with site, surroundings and usage Spec: S13 Re-pollard to previous pollard points, retaining knuckle. Reason: R1 Sound arboricultural management Reason: R2 To ensure future compatibility with site, surroundings and usage Spec: S15 Fell tree to ground level. Reason: R1 Sound arboricultural management Reason: R2 To ensure future compatibility with site, surroundings and usage Reason: R6 Poor health, structural condition of form (delete as appropriate)
