Proposal
Oak Tree T1 as identified in TPO 1308 is causing substantial subsidence damage to the property -The Cottage, Tilehurst Lane, Binfield, Berkshire RG42 5JS. Roots of the oak tree have been found beneath the foundations to the property. In order to mitigate the damage we are proposing to construct a root barrier to a depth of 3.5m below ground level in the garden areas and driveway of the property. The barrier will run parallel to the property building line at distance of between 2m and 3m of the property. Relevant files and drawings will be uploaded.

1 SEYMOUR DRIVE, ASCOT, SL5 8FX
T1 - Norway Maple - Reduce canopy height and lateral spread 3-4m back towards previous reduction points. Cuts will be made back to suitable growth points from which point the tree can be maintained in a reduced pollarded form. Reason: T1 (Norway Maple) is a suppressed tree of poor form and with a stem defect. The overhanging canopy of T1 has a significant impact on the garden of 1 Seymour Drive and breaking branches cause a nuisance to residents. Works are recommended to reduce the canopy to alleviate the nuisance to residents from which point the tree can be managed in a reduced pollarded form. As the tree has no wider visual amenity value from a public viewpoint, the quality and canopy cover of trees within the Brackens Estate and wider Woodland Tree Preservation Order will not be undermined.
