Proposal

T1 - Lime Tree T2 - Horse Chestnut Gp 3 - Lime Avenue T1 - Lime tree - Pollard at 10-12 metres. Retain some lower growth pruned back to suitable points that will promote better crown shape. This tree is fairly exposed and leans towards adjacent property. There is concern that the tree or parts of it may fall on or near the property beneath. Also the main union at around 8 metres is poorly formed with included bark posing the risk of failure. T2 - Horse Chestnut - Raise crown to around 4.5 metres (height of arch with lamp). Remove all dead wood. Tip reduce growth over arch to give 1 metre clearance. Reduce low limb extended over boundary wall by around 2 metres to improve crown balance. This work is to improve the visual appeal of this tree in relation to surrounding walls and archway. Grp 3 - Lime Avenue (14 trees in all). These trees to be pruned to a unified geometric box shaped crown. They were planted and dsigned to be pruned to this specific shape. Remarks:

    28 Vicarage Road Henley-on-thames RG9 1HJ

    T1: Birch: Twin stemmed Birch with a crown break a couple of feet above ground level. This tree has had cobra bracing installed and has previously had a crown reduction undertaken due to the applicants concerns over its safety with its close proximity to their own and neighbouring properties and the high volume of pedestrians who walk past the house particularly during the school pick up and drop off timings. The applicant wishes to reduce the height of the tree by 4 metres, to a point just above the previous pruning points and the lateral branches by up to 1 metre. T2, T3 and T4: Birch: Applicant wishes to carry out a 2m crown reduction of all 3 trees. These trees were planted by the applicant on the basis that they would be maintained as small trees owing to the size of space in this area of the garden and the proximity of buildings.

    7 Vicarage Road Henley-on-thames RG9 1HF

    There are two trees in the front garden Permission is requested to fell both trees. Tree 1 = Weeping Birch Tree Tree 2 = Maple Tree Weeping Birch (Tree 1) This has become too large for the site, the roots are lifting the paving around it, making it a trip hazard. Roots have also entered the nearby drains, causing problems. Permission is sought to fell the tree, to make safe access to the property and to make space on the driveway for off street parking. (There is a nearby primary school, and parking can be a challenge.) Maple (Tree 2) This tree has also become too big for its location, which is very close to the boundary of No. 5 and No. 7 Vicarage Rd, causing lifting of the paving around it. It is also very close to both houses. Permission is sought to fell this tree.
