Hyde End House Hyde End Lane Brimpton Reading RG7 4RJ

Group of Portuguese Laurel - reduction of 50% from 6 metres to 3 metres from the top and from 7 metres to 4 metres in width, This is to keep this in a manageable state and all work will be carried out to suitable growth points. Group of Holly trees along the drive - remove entirely and replace with 3 x Horse Chestnut trees in the same place to continue the existing avenue along the driveway. There are two large dead hollys amongst this group and to make this safe and more manageable in the future a planting plan including three Horse Chestnuts planted in situ will make most sense.

Everington Bungalow Everington Hill Yattendon Thatcham RG18 0UD

The tree I am applying for permission to remove is an English Walnut located in the rear garden of Everington bungalow TPO 201/21/0841-T1-WAL. The tree has been showing signs of decay since last year, This year coming into leaf very late. There is epicormic growth throughout the centre of the crown as well as a high presence of deadwood throughout the crown. There are fungal fruiting bodies on 2 of the major limbs as shown in the images attached to this application. There is a codominant stem which has signs of rot and black liquid pouring from it as well as rotting roots at the base of the tree. This tree is incredibly close to the property and poses a significant threat if it were to fall over or have a limb failure, I have considered the possibility of a reduction or a pollard but in the trees current condition I do not feel this would make the tree safe. Once the tree has been removed it will be replaced by two Native ornamental trees (Prunus) More suited to this small garden and that will be cared for by an arborist.
