    Following the attached Tree Survey Report, our consultant (Sarah Duckworth) submitted a planning application 25/00224/TRTPO to have this tree felled due to the past presence of Kreutzschmaria deusta. Although the tree currently presents in good physiological condition, with notable adaptive “wound wood” around historic basal wounds, the presence of K. deusta significantly increases the long term risk profile due to its characteristic pattern of concealed decay and sudden failure without clear external symptoms. Given the tree’s height (17m), proximity to surrounding property, and the species’ known susceptibility to structural compromise when colonised by K. deusta, we are requesting a crown reduction to lower sail area, reduce end weight, and mitigate mechanical stress on the stem and root plate. This proposal aims to retain the tree within the landscape while responsibly managing the elevated risk associated with the fungal infection. Requested Works A sympathetic crown reduction of 3 metres overall, targeting: • Reduction of upper crown height by 3m • Lateral spread reduced by approx. 2m • All cuts made to suitable secondary growth points to maintain natural form • No more than 20–25% of the crown volume removed • Deadwood removal throughout the canopy This level of reduction will meaningfully decrease wind loading and leverage on the lower stem - particularly important given the past fungus identified - while preserving the tree’s aesthetic value and ecological contribution. Supporting Rationale • Kreutzschmaria deusta is associated with brittle fracture at the base, often without prior crown symptoms. • Reduction will lower structural stress, significantly reducing the likelihood of unpredictable failure. • The tree shows good vitality, so a light to moderate reduction is appropriate to retain long term canopy health. • The proposed works represent a balanced, minimal impact intervention that prioritises public safety while maintaining the tree’s presence. The requested reduction is a proportionate and responsible management action in light of the past fungal infection and structural risk profile. It will help ensure the continued safe retention of this TPO tree while preserving its amenity value.

    WOODPECKERS, 79 PINEHILL ROAD, CROWTHORNE, RG45 7JP

    Pine (T1) – Front boundary of 79 Pinehill Road: - Reduce lowest branch on northern side by approximately 3 metres to alleviate branch end weight and leverage and give good clearance to property. - Reduce lateral branch originating at approximately 10 metres from ground level on northern side by approximately 2 metres to alleviate branch end weight and leverage - Remove broken branch within upper crown on northern side - Carry out reduction work to remaining lateral branches on northern side as required to shape and balance in line with reduction works to lower lateral branches - Reduce over extended lateral branch on southern side over highway by approximately 5 metres to alleviate branch end weight and leverage Remove all deadwood from entire crown area Reason for application: Proposed reduction works are being advised to mitigate potential failure associated with V-shaped unions exhibiting significant included bark. The presence of reactive growth (commonly referred to as 'elephant’s ears') indicates that the tree is actively attempting to compensate for structural stress Pine (T2) – Front boundary of 79 Pinehill Road: - Front garden, front boundary - Remove all deadwood from entire crown area

    T1 Turkey Oak Supply tree surgery services, machinery, equipment, and suitably qualified personnel to undertake the sectional felling of the Oak tree. The tree has a large area of decay at the base of the main stem, extending approximately 12 inches into the stem. Due to the extent of the decay and the associated structural concerns, sectional felling is recommended to safely remove the tree.
