    Magnolia tree: approx. spread 10 metres (m), approx. height 8m; now to be reduced on one side (south side) by approx. 2.5m. An adjacent Cherry tree (in poor condition and leaning into the Magnolia) was removed, with Planning Permission, in July. The close proximity of the Cherry tree had however caused one side of the Magnolia not to grow. We now wish to reduce the spread to re-balance the tree and to encourage more even growth. The work will be carried out by David Cotterell, registered tree surgeon, hopefully in November.

  17. Decision MadeP24/S2165/TPO

    This application relates to the a Horse Chestnut tree directly outside my house on the grass verge. (TPO T11) The tree was diseased and a bout of high winds towards the end of last year caused the tree to crack at the top of the trunk and the boughs / branches to fall to the ground, probably due to the trunk no longer being able to sustain their considerable weight. Photos will be sent showing what is left of the tree trunk. This application is therefore to reduce and remove the remaining trunk.

These figures describe applications collected by PlanningTrack for South Oxfordshire 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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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.
