Planning application
The Old Wesleyan Chapel Manor Road Sulgrave OX17 2RY
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
A reseeded conifer needs to be completely removed as it has become too large for the garden and is too close to sheds and an LPG tank. In strong winds it could pose a threat to the structures in the garden as well as the access road to which it is adjacent. There is no TPOIt is the conifer in Pic OWC 002 and is the only tree indicated on the sketch OWC 001.
