    Coppice all small trees (mainly Sycamore, Elm, Elder) in the hedge line on the North side of the A422, Stratford Road between Wroxton and the bridge towards Drayton, leaving the large mature trees. All growth originated from an old hedge so the plan is to re coppice the whole hedge line and maintain as a low hedge. Partially due to ongoing risk of trees falling in the highway which could become more of an issue in the future.

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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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.
