  14. Application Permitted25/00307/TCA

    T1 Conifer tree) This tree sits behind a holly tree in the row of trees on the back boundary. We would like to remove this to ground level. T2 Conifer tree) This tree is 5th one along from the corner tree to be removed, toward the center. We would like to remove both trees as this will give the neighbor directly behind the trees more light but will maintain a screening between the two property's. Both sides have discussed the proposed works and are both happy for these two to go.. I am sure you have previous information regarding these trees as there was a legal dispute some years ago with the previous owners at Berwick house. Unfortunately I do not recall the address of the house directly behind the trees but if you google earth it you will find it is far more straightforward to view the trees in question from their side. (If you wish to view them of course)

What these statistics cover

These figures describe applications collected by PlanningTrack for Cherwell District Council, across all dates currently available. They are a partial dataset, rather than an authority-wide performance measure. The date range does not establish continuous historical coverage.

The approval percentage is approved records divided by approved plus refused records. Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded. No percentage is shown until there is an approved or refused record.
