    Kareol Mill Lane Islip OX5 2SU

    Received 3 Nov 2021
  15. Application Permitted25/00021/TCA

    T1 - T5 Fell . Following the recent storms one of the Scots Pine, which appeared healthy, positioned between T1 and T2 fell onto my house. The top of the tree hit close to the ridge and on impact the top 5-6m of the tree broke off. The attached pictures shows this. By complete luck the damage was not far worse and no one was hurt. I want to remove the remaining tall Pines to ensure this can not happen again. If I do not now undertake these works having had this event it is unlikely my insurance would be valid for a future similar event. The trees are now very tall and severely shade the garden providing limited amenity against significant risk of harm.
