Croft Corner Moreton Road Aston Tirrold Didcot OX11 9EW

The holly tree is located on the garden boundary abutting the fence next to The Croft. It is approximately half way down the garden and clearly visible from the road as branches of the tree overhand the fence. The top of the tree is getting close to overhanging wires. The application is to prune the tree back to previous pruning points. This will take away the risk of the tree interfering with the wires and also stop the tree from being hit by passing vehicles. I have spoken with Tom Cottrell, tree surgeon, about the scope of the works.

T1 Hazel - Selectively re-coppice the larger diameter stems back to the coppice stool. Re-pollard the remaining smaller diameter stems back to the previous pollard points to retain the existing management regime. T2 Walnut - Reduce the lateral spread encroaching towards both neighbouring gardens by up to 1.5m, pruning back to suitable growth points to reduce end weight and improve crown balance. The purpose of these works is to contain the crown within the current setting, which leans towards the neighbouring properties from ground level and is supported by a tight primary union at approximately 1.25m above ground level. Final pruning cuts shall not exceed 60mm in diameter. T3 Hazel - Fell the three ivy-clad stems to ground level. Additionally, coppice the smaller stems located in front of the larger stems to ground level. T4 Fastigiate Apple - Reduce the height of the crown by approximately 1.0–1.25m to a finished height between the window sill and the top of the upper window. Additionally, selectively reduce extended lateral branches back to suitable inward-facing growth points and thin dense areas of the inner crown to improve crown structure. The purpose of these works is to maintain an appropriate size and form within the current domestic setting.

17 Sycamore Close Watlington OX49 5LN

T1 Ash - Reduce the height and spread of the southern and eastern crown by up to 1.25 metres, pruning back to approximately the previous reduction points. The crown is currently squat in form, with the majority of growth extending laterally to the northwest and northeast; selectively reduce these areas by up to 2 metres to rebalance the crown and create a more uniform shape. Ensure finishing cuts do not exceed 80mm in diameter. Additionally, remove deadwood throughout the crown and crown lift over the lawn area to achieve approximately 3 metres clearance above ground level. The purpose of these works is to continue the ongoing crown management and create a smaller, less sporadic and better-balanced crown form suited to the current domestic setting.

Beresford House Reading Road Shiplake Henley-on-thames RG9 3PH

The two mature trees are approximately 30m in height, with substantial lateral branches extending over the driveway and neighbouring garden areas. The trees are located approximately 13 metres from nearby residential properties. Previous branch loss has occurred from the canopy, affecting both the driveway and garden areas. As part of ongoing tree management and maintenance, it is proposed that the following works be undertaken by a qualified arborist. 1) Removal of Dead Wood Removal of dead, damaged and crossing branches throughout the canopy, particularly within the inner crown 2) End Weight Reduction Selective reduction of the outer extremities of larger lateral branches extending over the driveway and garden areas to improve branch balance and reduce leverage on extended limbs 3) Crown Reduction Selective pruning the canopy to reduce weight and hazard while safely preserving the tree shape, and thereby reducing the wind sail effect 4) Inspection of previous storm damage. Inspection and, where necessary, pruning of areas affected by previous branch loss and historic storm damage to maintain the long-term condition and management of the trees

Tree Haven Sotwell Street Brightwell-cum-Sotwell Wallingford OX10 0RH

Four Yew trees at the rear of the property along the western boundary adjacent to a private lane, as indicated in the attached report. As per recommendations made by the arboriculturist in his report, prune low branches of T1, T2 and T3, by removal of lower growth up to a height of approximately 3m from ground level (ground level being taken as top of the bank where trees are rooted). This will target both tertiary and secondary branches. The fourth tree (T4) in the group is to have lower branches retained from approximately 50cm to 1.5m from ground level (ground level being taken as top of the bank where trees are rooted). These branches are forming a small natural boundary hedge that shields neighbouring property’s private road. Prune branches above the height of the lower retained section to create a window of daylight by pruning secondary and tertiary branches to a height of approximately 3m from ground level (ground level- taken from root zone area). This will remove x1 low branch growing over shed back to source. The branch above this will be pruned to a height of approximately 3m from ground level by removal of secondary branches. Remove deadwood from within crowns. Due to the density of this, it is thought that a greater ingress of dappled light will filter through the crown when removed. Selectively prune lateral branches from trees T3 and T4 over garden side by removal of up to 1m of lateral growth, blending in remaining upper growth to form flowing crown form as viewed from garden. Prune apical branches of T4 by up to 1m to form an opening between lower branches of adjacent Beech tree to allow light ingress between the two layers of crown and lower branch scaffolds.
