Granted Vale of White Horse P17/V3741/TPO Works to TPO

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Pollarding single Yew tree on south front of 4 Belmont. The tree is in an inappropriate location too close to buildings. It contravenes guidelines for proximity. The tree has been allowed to grow too big, and now gives rise to a number of risks:- a) Risk of future subsidence to buildings within 5m. b) Risk of damage to immediately adjacent wall. c) Risk of scraping against sidewall of my house which is rendered. d) Risk of overhead powerline which is now within the tree. e) Risk of damage to cars, incluidng neighbours, from falling debris, sticky berries, and pigeon fouling (health hazard). The tree causes excessive shading to my property. Pollarding to be undertaken by qualified tree surgeon compliant with all existing guidelines.

    Non material amendment to planning application P19/V0437/HH. Improvements to existing ground floor rear extension and new ground floor extension. Extant permission for an extension to no. 27 was linked with similar extension to adjoining property (no. 26), these extensions were 'back-to-back' sharing a party wall, the extension to no. 26 is not being progressed. There no longer being a party wall a new external wall running beside the boundary is required necessitating the reduction in width of the extension to no. 27. The form of the extension and in all other respects the extension to no. 27 is the same as the existing permission.

    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.
