Planning application
The Walnuts Broad Street Uffington Faringdon SN7 7RA
Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
T1. Mature sycamore tree growing in the hedgerow next to the road. Height 7 metres, crown spread 3 metres. This tree was pollarded several years ago, leading to regrowth which has now doubled the height of the tree since it was pollarded. There is decay present at the point where the regrowth meets the top of the trunk, with several cavities which render the tree unsafe and likely to break and fall into the road. Proposed work is to re-pollard the tree back to the original pollard cuts, leaving pruning cuts of 10 cm diameter, removing branches of up to 3 metres in length. T2. Semi mature sycamore tree. Height 7 metres, crown spread 4 metres. This self-seeded tree in the hedgerow has now grown to a size where it is very close to the nearby power line, and poses a risk to the road as it has recently dropped branches. Proposed work is to pollard the tree at a height of 3 metres to match the hedgerow, and allow it to become part of the hedge. This will remove around 4 metres of top growth, leaving a pruning cut of around 20 cm. T3. A small group of 3 self-seeded young sycamore saplings growing out of the hedge towards the road. Height 3 to 4 metres. Proposed work is to fell all 3 to ground level, before they start to impede the sightlines on the adjacent road.

Hilton Garden Inn Marcham Road Abingdon OX14 1TZ
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.

The Copse House Foxcombe Road Boars Hill Oxford OX1 5DG
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.
