    8 Kingfisher Close, Abingdon, OX14 5NP

    Received 16 Dec 2022
  2. Decision MadeP23/V0526/TPO

    Poplar - 3 to be felled. Trees are diseased and potentially dangerous. Our neighbours have just had theirs felled due to a massive bough falling plus the tree surgeon has informed us that all these trees were planted at the same time so all are dangerous to us, houses at the bottom of our garden, pedestrians walking along the path next to them. We have had several large branches falling when windy. The tree surgeon that felled our neighbours has also informed us ours are diseased. We have always kept them lopped but now after seeing how diseased our neighbours were and as I said dangerous to life and property plus how much light has been let into their garden we feel this is our only option now. Also several of our neighbours with these trees have had 1 or more felled at different times for the same reason. Also the weather has been getting progressively worse over the years its a danger to not only lives, our property and neighbours and pedestrians on the footpath directly behind our fence line. Also there is a children's play area directly behind where they play football games etc.
