  20. Application Permitted20/02857/TCA

    T1 x Field Maple is located within the boundary of 1 Bean Acre, adjacent to both Ashburton Lane and 3 Bean Acre. It is now too large for the current location as it is believed to once have been part of the hedge. It is proposed that the tree is reduced by to just below the height of the existing hedge and to then trim any re growth to hedge height in effect to restore it to become part of the hedge. The tree sits directly next to a retaining wall and by managing the tree growth this will help keep the structure of the wall intact.

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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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.
