Planning application
Jessamine House, Tucks Lane, Longworth, Abingdon, OX13 5ET
Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
A crown reduction of up to 2 metres to the upper and lateral canopy of a mature beech tree (Fagus sylvatica) located in the rear garden of Jessamine House, to reduce overall crown spread and height while maintaining the tree at a scale appropriate to its garden setting. The works will retain the treeâ¿¿s natural form and long-term health and will help to improve levels of light to the garden area, without materially affecting the treeâ¿¿s contribution to the character and appearance of the conservation area. All pruning cuts will be undertaken in accordance with BS3998:2010 â¿¿ Tree Work Recommendations, back to suitable secondary growth points, with no unnecessary removal of healthy wood.
