Planning application

Bagley Croft, Hinksey Hill, Oxford, OX1 5BS

Decided Vale of White Horse P17/V3726/TPO Works to TPO

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Cherry tree - a common Cherry tree (planted by a previous caretaker within the lawn) died a few years ago. The tree was retained to allow a clematis to grow through it, however, the weight of the clematis combined with slow decay at the trunk base has now resulted in the tree falling over. It is currently leaning against an adjacent Copper and is unsafe. We have consulted with Youngs Tree Services who have advised the felling of the tree to ground level. The stump will be left to decay naturally. There is no intention to replant any trees. W1 Mixed broadleaf woodland Spec: S15 Fell tree to ground level. Reason: R1 Sound arboricultural management Reason: R4 To address potential hazard Spec: S20 Suggested species, Cherry suggested size, 10-12cm girth

    The single dead Cherry tree is shown as "C" in a red circle on the Sketchmap provided. For reasons of safety before autumn storms, the crown now needs to be reduced by removal of the lateral branches to a residual limb length of c. 1 metre above main unions, creating a branched monolith (of about 4-5m height) . This is a wildlife-friendly alternative to complete removal. The trunk already has ivy growth, and the tree will continue to provide potential harbourage for wood-boring insects, other invertebrates, birds and smal mammals. Arborists have indicated that the standing dead tree should remain stable for several years as a monolith. Stability will be checked annually. The lopped branches will be cut into manageable pieces to make a habitat pile in a designated area of the churchyard. N.B. There is no Tree Preservation Order in force for this tree or any other tree in the chuchyard.
