Planning application
Willow Barn, Manor Lane, West Hendred, Wantage, OX12 8RX
Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
We wish to prune a large Silver Birch in the corner of our rear garden (T1). Following a meeting with a tree surgeon we have been advised to prune/reduce the canopy by 1-2m. The tree surgeon will also shape the remaining canopy and remove any dead wood. We have spoken to our neighbours at Bramley Tree Barn (property directly behind ours and the Silver Birch branches hang over their patio) and they are happy with the plans. The partial reduction proposed will be useful in preventing the branches contacting the property - and useful in preventing branches/leaves falling onto their patio.
