Old Rectory The Walk Islip OX5 2SD
Lime Trees T11 & T12 Whilst the trees are category ‘B2’ and have been pollarded recently they have been substantially pushing on a Grade II* listed boundary wall which is directly onto Kings Head Lane resulting in a risk to the general public from collapse or collision on the highway. Remedial works to the boundary wall are underway and the road (B4027) is currently closed. While the original consented planning application ‘24/01113/F’ hoped to repair the wall while retaining these trees the full extent of the root systems can now be seen as the wall has been taken down to road level. See photos attached. Consequently the wall cannot be rebuilt to satisfy the listed building consent and at the same time be safe without removing these tress and their root systems.
