26/01112/TPO - Works to a tree with a TPO Approved

Proposal

Works to 1no Horse Chestnut tree as identified by PJL Group Limited in the Oxford City Council - London Road (No. 4) Tree Preservation Order, 2005 For the epicormic growth, we propose pruning cuts to remove and to continue annual monitoring. For the north side of the street encroaching on the forecourt canopy, we propose limited reduction pruning (no more than 300mm) to keep the few limbs away from the canopy structure. In addition, we also request permission to continue with the very same repeated works annually in March each year for the next 10 years. Data via plota.co.uk
