  1. Decision MadeP26/V1354/TPO

    Large Oak tree at front of property next to the main road ( Steventon Road, Drayton). There are a number of dead branches at low level that require trimming back. This will both ensure the overall health of the tree and mitigate against any falling branches onto the road and footpath in future. I propose to use a professional contractor for the works and the tree will not have an appreciable change in appearance following the work. It will only be a small number of branches where leaves have not grown back that require trimming. No major branches need trimming. I estimate the diameter of largest branches that require trimming to be no more than 100mm.
