    The ash tree is positioned to the north of the property to the side of a commonly owned (with Spring Cottage) turning circle area. The tree has been previously cut back and, over ten years ago, pollarded to ensure it is clear of telephone wires to the house and another property to the south of Mullinahogie. It is proposed to pollard the tree once again, to the level previously undertaken (about 15 metres), using the same arborist as carried out the work before (Acorn Tree Works of Wroxton). This will ensure the tree is kept clear of telephone wires running to the west of the property.

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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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.
