Planning application
20 Gloucester Place Witney Oxfordshire OX28 6LA
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
I would like to prune a tree in our garden. It is a sort of maple and has grown too big. Our neighbours also thinks it shadows their garden. The tree stands roughly 8 meters from the house.
