Plot of land adjacent to Church Lane, Ashbury, SN6 8LZ

Decided Vale of White Horse P16/V3481/TCA Works to trees in CA

Works: Trees

Relates to P14/V2250/FUL

Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.

Proposal

T1 - Young Oak T2 - Mature Walnut T3 - Small fruit tree & small ornamental tree T4 - Horse Chestnut Under the agreed planning permission (P14/V2250/FUL) a number of existing trees are to be removed. This has already taken place. (Removed trees are ringed in brown on Plan A). Having removed these trees I have now identified a number of other trees which I wish to remove, these are ringed and identified in blue on Plan B. I propose to plant a series of other trees to replace those removed. These are marked on Plan B in green. Plan B - proposed trees to be taken out: A - Young Oak - a line of beech trees adjacent to the land were recently removed, the planning approval requires trees of low water usage to be planted along this boundary. B - Mature Walnut - this tree ahas blown over and is lying at 45 degrees and resting on the top boundary hedge. C - Small Fruit tree and small Ornamental tree - I would like to remove these to provide room to plant a row of fruit trees. D - Now that other trees have been removed, I can see that there is a rogue Horse Chestnut growing along the line of ornamental trees on this boundary. Its removal will not cause a gap as it is currently forcing its way up between the original planted trees. Plan B - proposed planting. 1 - row of flowering cherries 3-5 trees depending on their spread. 2 - row of 3-5 fruit trees depending on their spread and shading of mature Lime trees on Church Lane boundary. A mixture from apple, pear and plum. Remarks:

    T1 Beech - Reduce in height from 30m to 20m from ground level shaping sympathetically into laterals including a further lateral reduction of the major limb oversailing the corner of the house by 3-4m (consider installing second cobra-brace on this limb), 10% crown thin remaining crown and remove Deadwood. Works to rebalance weighting and wind loading of crown following significant limb failure. The tree is an enormous beech tree. A huge limb came off last week on Wednesday night. All the weight on the tree is now very one sided, which makes it dangerous. The weight of the tree is also now on the side of The Old Vicarage and if any further limbs fall off, there is a risk of serious damage to the house and to anyone thats inside it. In order to save the tree, we would like to reduce the whole canopy by one third. The tree is approximately 30m high and we would like to reduce the whole crown to 20m above ground level. This would rebalance the tree and hopefully prevent any further damage. The garden is sometimes open to the public and I am a full time gardener that often has to work under and around this tree, therefore we need to make it safe as a matter of urgency. We have had advice from a tree surgeon and these are the measures he suggested.

    1- TPO T25 - Norway Maple 2- TPO T38 - Ash The trees are mature and form part of the established planting around the property, providing visual interest and amenity value for guests, visitors and neighbouring areas. The proposed works are limited to pruning the branches closest to the building, by a maximum of 2 metres, to maintain an appropriate clearance. The intention is to retain the trees and their overall appearance and continue to preserve their contribution to the character and amenity of the site. We are not aware of any specific historical significance associated with the trees.

    Hazel There are approximately 10-15 multi-stemmed hazel trees in need of coppicing. Each will be reduced to 1-1.5 metres in height to allow healthy regrowth. Yew and Purple Plumb The purple plumb and yew trees will simply have 2-3 branches removed to raise the canopy to 4 metres to allow vehicular entrance to the property. All of these trees are within the woodland area or well within my boundary. Leylandii The branches overhanging the boundary fence along the 10-12 metre length of the growing raised beds will be trimmed back closer to the fence to allow light and rainfall to the raised beds.
