Planning application

The Firs 85 North Street Middle Barton Chipping Norton Oxfordshire OX7 7BZ

Granted West Oxfordshire 24/02801/TCA Works to a tree in a Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

There are two pine trees in our garden in need of maintenance, i.e. dead branches and over extended branches need removal. The branches also need thinning out to allow the wind to go through them to make them safer. They are tall trees and very close to our bungalow. Some of the extended branches overhang the driveway and the sap is causing damage to the paintwork on the cars parked there. Also, some are interfering with the telephone line running alongside the road. As winter is approaching, we would like to get this done as soon as possible.

As published by the council, reference 24/02801/TCA
