Planning application
Wallow Bank Farmhouse 41 Byfield Road Chipping Warden OX17 1LE
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
G1 is a row of Conifer hedging. We are seeking permission to reduce the ends of this Conifer hedge by up to 5m to lower it to the same height as the retained hedge. The hedge is currently 4m tall from ground level. The ends of this hedge line have not been maintained.

The process from here
This application is with West Northamptonshire for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
