  T1 - Hazel T2 - Apple T1 - Hazel tree - fell to ground (stump to remain in situ due to location in raised garden bed - stump grinding would be difficult). Tree is self seeded in a raised garden bed. It excessively shades our patio and is rather close to the back of the house and so shades the living and playroom excessively. It also excessively shades our neighbour's garden as it is on the boundary fence. The tree is not in the best of health or a particularly attractive specimen. It is causing subsistence to the patio and raised border. T2 - Apple tree - fell to fence level. This tree is practically dead. It is right on the boundary between our neighbour's garden and mine. Our neighbours are keen to fell the tree as it is pretty much dead and growing through the middle of another healthier yew tree. The tree has been allowed to ramble away and is pretty tall now, I think it is in danger of coming down of its own accord in high winds perhaps. It sits in the middle of the boundary fence between our gardens and as such we'd like to fell it level with the top of the fence in order that we don't end up with a gap. I am happy to plant another fruit tree or two to replace as we are in a conservation area and much of the land would have been orchard. Remarks: Spec:

  Henley College Deanfield Avenue Henley-on-thames RG9 1UH

  Ash (T2 of TPO 09/2019) - Reduce back crown over single storey block D4 by a maximum of 4m at its widest point (work mainly relates to over extended limbs over roof). Reduce back low branches over the roof to create 3m clearance. Cutback branches from front of the adjacent building (D6) to create 2-3m clearance. To help balance the crown, reduce remaining crown by approx. 2m. To avoid altering the balance of the tree as a whole, the crown of the tree should be reduced in proportion to its original shape. All pruning cuts must be made at branch junctions, leaving sufficient live growth to maintain or enhance crown form.
