  1. Application Permitted18/00046/TCA

    T1 x Corsican Pine - Fell. This is a mature tree with significant historic management and storm damage. Fibre buckling was noted at the base. Numerous insect emergence holes all up the main stem with a significant column of internal decay from 1m to at least 3m on the main stem - hollow sound when tapped with sounding mallet. Deadwood and broken branches throughout. Central stem and large limb at 4m SE historically lost. Reason - the tree has a limited safe useful life expectancy, it is close to the house and within the garden of Mill House and it should be felled to address the potential hazard of its poor health and structural condition.

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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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.
