Planning application

20 Gloucester Place Witney Oxfordshire OX28 6LA

Awaiting decision West Oxfordshire 26/01925/TCA Works to a tree in a Conservation Area

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.

As published by the council, reference 26/01925/TCA
