  Coppice, cut back and 2 removals proposed and clearly visible in garden. Looking to also plant an Oak in memory of my husband whom passed away in September and make a wild garden at the end. The garden has been severely neglected and needs upkeep. I have recently moved into The Old Post Office, Baker Street, Aston Tirrold, OX11 9DD. Having checked the South Oxfordshire District Council conservation area map, I understand that the property lies within a conservation area. I have also checked available records and understand that none of the trees on the property are individually protected it seems, however cannot confirm the Ash which the neighbour owns. I purchased the house in December, and upon inspecting the garden it became apparent that the trees have been neglected. The previous owners confirmed that during their short tenure no tree work had been undertaken and very little the previous owners. As a result, several of the trees are in poor condition and would benefit from appropriate arboricultural management. In particular, there is a large Sweet Chestnut tree that has not been cared for, and a Cherry tree in very poor condition located adjacent to the shed, which I would like to remove this one T4. In addition, I would like to plant a new Oak tree in the rear garden towards the back (in discussion with Mighty Oak company) in memory of my husband, who recently passed away in September 2025 and also what prompted my move to have a more tranquil and peaceful setting to bring nature into the garden. I have numbered the trees below and provided (attached) photographs with approximate locations for reference. I am seeking approval to fell and/or carry out remedial works to improve the health and safety of the trees, including the removal of the Cherry tree (T6) and the Pine tree (T2), which is heavily overgrown with ivy and in very poor condition. The proposed works to be carried out by a licensed tree surgeon are as follows: Tree 1 - Sweet Chestnut: Remove major deadwood and carry out a 30% crown reduction to suitable growth points. Tree 2 - Pine: Fell to ground level due to poor condition and extensive ivy growth. Tree 3 - Tulip Tree: 30% crown reduction. Tree 4 - Ash Tree: Crown reduction where overhanging the neighbouring property; tree is also showing signs consistent with Ash Dieback. Tree 5 - Hazel Tree: Located at the front of the property near the post box and in proximity to telephone lines; to be coppiced or reduced to a more appropriate size for its location. Tree 6 - Cherry Tree: Fell to ground level. I consider this tree to have limited arboricultural and amenity value due to its size, poor form, and condition.

  17 Leylandii We wish to have 17 leylandii trees cut down. They are on the boundary between our property (detached) and an adjacent property (also detached). There is already a fence on the boundary. The trees are unsightly and block all the light - as a result, we would not wish to replant trees, although possibly a hedge. Our neighbour is also in favour. Remarks:

  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.
