  1. Decision MadeP21/S2389/TCA

    Intent to Fell and Treat Stump to T1 Cypress & SG2 Mixed Species Group located at 5 Bourne Street, Didcot, OX11 8EH. We are also applying to Fell Close to Ground Level (Approx 50mm) to T3 Cypress also located at 5 Bourne Street OX11 8EH. The above tree works are proposed as a remedy to the differential foundation movement at the above address and to ensure the long-term stability of the building The above tree works are proposed to limit the extent and need for expensive and disruptive engineering repair works The above tree works are proposed to limit the duration of any claim period and, therefore, allow the landowner his right to the peaceful enjoyment of his property It is the case that an alternative to felling such as pruning or significant pollarding of the trees, would not provide a reliable or sustainable remedy in this case. We do not consider that any other potential means of mitigation, such as root barriers, would be effective or appropriate in the circumstances.
