FIVE DAY NOTICE T1 – Yew. The structural condition of T1 is poor, following a historical crown failure in 2014 and once again in Sept 2020. Approximately 65% of the crown has now failed leaving a tree of poor structural integrity, located within falling distance of a high target area- 1. The adjacent flats and residents. Management of the tree from this point is limited given the structural condition and loss of crown coverage, a pollard is recommended as a last available resort to retain the tree. The pollard height is estimated at 4m – 5m.

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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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.
