P26/V0771/TCA - Works to trees in CA Approved

Proposal

G1 Silver Birch x8 - reduce heights by approx. 5m. Our client would like more light in front garden as well as neighbouring gardening adjacent to their property, which are overshadowed by the trees. Due to the close proximity and size of the gardens mentioned, this is why my clients would like a significant height reduction. Data via plota.co.uk

Also on the record
3 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin; Inside the Faringdon built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 2, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
