26 PARKWAY, CROWTHORNE, RG45 6EN

T1 – Silver Birch – approximately 15m in height with a crown spread of 5m. Reduce the height of the crown by up to 6m, leaving a final height of approximately 9m, pruning back to suitable growth points where appropriate. Reason for the proposed works: The tree is in decline and the proposed reduction is intended to retain the tree for as long as reasonably practicable whilst reducing the likelihood of branch failure. This level of reduction would not normally be recommended for a healthy silver birch but is considered appropriate in view of the tree's current condition and the objective of prolonging its safe retention. T2 – Silver Birch – approximately 9m in height with a crown spread of 5m. Reduce the height of the crown by up to 2m, or back to the cavity if this is considered necessary following climbing inspection, pruning back to suitable growth points where practicable. Reason for the proposed works: The tree contains a cavity at approximately 6m above ground level. The proposed reduction is intended to continue the management of the tree, allowing its retention whilst maintaining the level of risk as low as reasonably practicable. The final extent of pruning will be determined following closer inspection of the cavity during the climbing operation.

3 JEROME CORNER, CROWTHORNE, RG45 7JF

Tree Specification: Beech (TPO 260 T8) Proposed Scope of Works The specimen currently displays good physiological vigour and presents no obvious visual defects. It stands at an approximate height of 15 metres with a radial crown spread of 10 metres. June 2nd 2026, the lowest limb failed approximately 2 metres from the branch union. This failure is attributed to a combination of high ambient temperatures followed by significant rainfall. A second limb failed from the same primary limb on 22nd July 2026 To mitigate the risk of further limb failures, I recommend a crown reduction of up to 2 metres from each branch tip, pruning back to appropriate growth points. This management practice will decrease the leverage and weight applied to each limb, ensuring the tree remains at a scale suitable for its current location and preventing it from becoming over-mature for the site. All resulting waste will be removed and all areas will be left clean and tidy. All works carried out will be in accordance with BS3998

1 ALCOT CLOSE, CROWTHORNE, RG45 7NE

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.

18 COPPICE GARDENS, CROWTHORNE, RG45 6EE

Scope of Works T1-T2-T3 Scots pine trees protected by TPO 8 The trees are exhibiting signs of multiple trunk decay points and from what appears to be lightning strike. This included with the poor form of an asymmetrical crown creating excessive leverage weight I pose the trees to be at risk to failure. As the trees are within reaching distance of multiple properties I advise the trees are removed to ground level. Method of Works To sectionally dismantle the trees to near ground level. The trees will be accessed using rope and harness. Aerial pruning techniques will be used to dismantle the trees into sections. Each section will be controlled to ground level using ropes and rigging. All resulting waste will be processed and removed from the site, all areas will be left clean and tidy.

14 BLAKE CLOSE, CROWTHORNE, RG45 7LF

TPO 673 - application to fell the Sweet Chestnut tree respresented as T4, previously granted permission in Application No 14/00098/TRTPO for prunning and also potential felling. Comments from the officer then: "'T4 - To keep the new growths away from the house due to the close proximity from the house to this tree T4 Sweet chestnut had been topped to approximately 5m high in the past and it is no more than a standing pole. It has already lost its natural form and has a large amount of epicormic growth on the main stem. The stem attachment of this eppicormic growth is likely to be weak structure and there is potential for branch failure in future as they grew into branches. In this case Ihave no objection to the proposed work. lf a new application was to be submitted, for the removal of T4, it is unlikely to be refused due to the current condition of this tree" On this occasion we request permission for felling this tree to ground. This tree has again in the last 10+ years continued to grow in a disform manner, and is entirely covered with ivy. Additionally, its branches have a tendency to collapse, posing a risk to people and property. Comment from the neighbour at number 12 Blake Close: "I came over around this time last year and we had a chat regarding the dreaded chestnut tree overhanging our front gaden that is now getting back to its biggest size ever since it was last cut back to the trunk. I reminded you that we can no longer park our car that part of our drive as the nuts in autumn damaged our previous car with dents all over the roof and bonnet. Thankfully your previous owners offered to pay for the repairs. It also won't be too long before the branches start to come into contact with our house! You said that you would 'add it to my list of things to do' this time last year. I'm sure that you appreciate both current and impending issues this tree is now causing. Would you be kind enough to provide us an update please as to progress on having this remedied." Likewise, we have also suffered damage to the shed and items usually stored around it. It's branches have reached our property before breaking off. Squirrels use it as a bridge to the roof and have previously damaged for the satellite dish and solar panel cabling. As an additional item, when with leaves between spring and autumn, the tree blocks sunlight into the solar panels located on the property, dramatically reducing the generation potential and with it contributing for unnecessary energy importation from the grid.

16 BLAKE CLOSE, CROWTHORNE, RG45 7LF

Oak Tree T6 on sketch plan Fell to ground level. We are seeking permission to fell this tree, as it has a very substantial lean and has grown very one-sided due to being boxed in by other trees around it. My client is very concerned that this tree could fall into her house one day, as it is rather tall and in the pictures, it can be seen that the lean is rather severe. The tree leans directly over the family's bedrooms, which causes her even more concern. Also, when in leaf, the tree blocks most of the sunlight to the garden, plus there are already some protected council trees on the right-hand side of it. We believe a reduction wouldnt really achieve much in this case, as I think we would really only be allowed to prune back 1-1.5 meters, which would be a feat in its own right and would require a large mewp due to the leggy, thin branches. The tree also drops a vast amount of leaves that keep blocking my clients' gutters. My client would be happy to re-plant a more manageable tree in the oak's place.

16 COPPICE GARDENS, CROWTHORNE, RG45 6EE

Proposal TPO 8 - to remove the weeping willow in the front garden of 16 Coppice Gardens and replace it with a cut-leaf alder (containerised standard 1.5-2m tall), planted nearby in the front garden. Reasons 1. The tree is causing conflict to the residents of 16 and 18 Coppice Gardens with regards to its roots breaking through the driveways and, being a large growing and very broad shaped tree, it is rather over-dominant and blocking direct sunlight to the windows on southern aspect of both houses. 2. It appears that the TPO is a very old Area order that has become somewhat outdated. The tree is estimated at being around 60 years old and may or may not have been present at the time the TPO was served. Government Guidance states: - The area category is intended for short-term protection in an emergency and may not be capable of providing appropriate long-term protection. The Order will protect only those trees standing at the time it was made, so it may over time become difficult to be certain which trees are protected. 3. The surrounding locality has a high level of tree cover and there are numerous more prominent trees and wooded groups in the wider landscape, especially the line of mature Scots pines to the north, which can be clearly seen when viewed from Coppice Gardens. The overall loss of amenity will therefore be minimal and can be adequately mitigated by suitable replacement planting to ensure canopy succession going forward into the next 40+ years. 4. Consent was granted for “re-pollarding” back in 2020 and, if the tree must remain, it will need to be pruned on a regular basis and in a similar fashion to reduce dominance, shading and obstruction to passing vehicles. This will in turn require repeated applications and administration, which could be avoided if the tree was removed and replaced with a suitable alternative species. 5. The replacement tree can be planted further into the grass area, equidistant from the two driveways, to reduce the risk of roots lifting the driveway surfacing in the future. It will also be much less likely to cause problems with lifting of surrounding hard landscaping, since willows are well-known for their shallow and problematic roots systems in the built environment and alders are more deep-rooted. 6. A pre-application telephone discussion with the Council’s tree officer was helpful, constructive and centred around the factors and reasoning given in this report.
