  3. Decision MadeP25/S2365/TCA

    Following consultation from Dave Cottrell, Tree Surgeon, on 30th July 2025, we would like to request to carry out the following tree works: 1. Species: Thuja (Conifer) Location: Rear garden, situated close to the boundary with neighbouring property and adjacent to a mature walnut tree. Proposed Work: Full removal (felling) of the Thuja tree. Reasons for Proposed Work: Excessive Height and Size: The tree has grown disproportionately large for a domestic garden setting. Its dense evergreen canopy significantly reduces natural light to both the house and garden throughout the year. Proximity to Other Trees: The Thuja is growing in close proximity to a mature walnut tree, and its presence is inhibiting the healthy growth and form of the walnut due to competition for light, space, and nutrients. Amenity Impact: The treeâ¿¿s dominance in the garden has reduced the enjoyment and utility of the outdoor space. Its removal would allow for improved light levels and better long-term management of surrounding vegetation. 2. Species: Bramley Apple Location: Rear garden Proposed Work: Spur pruning of the Bramley Apple tree to encourage fruiting and maintain shape. Reasons for Proposed Work: Seasonal Maintenance: The tree is managed as a traditional fruiting apple, and periodic spur pruning is necessary to maintain healthy structure and fruit production. Good Arboricultural Practice: The proposed work is a standard horticultural technique, targeting specific shoots to enhance productivity without significantly altering the tree's overall size or form. Tree Health: Regular maintenance supports the long-term health and vitality of the tree, ensuring it remains an attractive and functional feature of the garden. 3. Species: Willow Location: Front garden, adjacent to the public footpath Proposed Work: Pollarding of the willow tree to reduce weight and mitigate risk of branch failure. Reasons for Proposed Work: Public Safety: The tree overhangs a public footpath, and one of the larger limbs is showing signs of becoming excessively heavy, creating a risk of structural failure that could endanger pedestrians or property. Preventative Maintenance: Pollarding is a recognised and appropriate method of managing mature willows. The proposed work is intended to reduce canopy weight and prevent potential damage to the main trunk and root system. Tree Health and Longevity: This intervention aims to maintain the health and structure of the tree, ensuring its safe retention in the landscape while reducing the likelihood of future damage.

    T1 - Lime tree as pictured. T2 - Lime tree as pictured. (T9 & T10 of TPO) As discussed with the applicant, they are keen to encourage more light into their property and help reduce leaf mess in the Autumn including the reduction of bird mess from roosting pigeons on a branch as seen in picture 2 with arrow . (picture 2, bird mess branch) suggests health hazard and is causing mess to vehicles. Suggesting to remove the branch back to source. My suggestion to meet their requirements in increase of light and improving shape of trees and to also maintain the trees health & shape - Crown reduce in height by 3m and prune back lateral growth by 2m leaving a broad natural finish all round. Prune off/ remove dead wood. All tree work will be carried out to the highest standard. In result to any Lime tree pruning, this type of work is better than pollarding due to the finish and the size of these trees from a natural finish point of scale. All work will be carried out by qualified and experienced tree surgeon.

    T1 mature Cedar deodar, (TPO T8) - lateral failure over the road. Cause of failure appears to be over extension of lateral growth which can be a typical feature of a mature Cedar. Now the tree has lost a significant scaffold branch the tree mass and wind dynamics have been altered which may lead to further failure if not dealt with. Reduce over extended laterals by up to 2.0m to all cardinal points tapering into height to leave a balanced and flowing crown outline.

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.
