P17/S4943/TPO Refused
Greenlands, Woodlands Road, Shiplake,, HENLEY-ON-THAMES, Oxon
T9 Beech - As mapped on diagram as T9 you can see the position of the Beech tree As I have discussed with the client I cannot see any signs of die back on the crown as it was in full leaf throughout the summer. It has however a large cavity half way up the stem in one of the unions that I am concerned about. John & Bamba, residents to next door with the tree bieng on the boundary hedge line are concerned as in their eyes with the hole not getting any better in terms of health, we both agree that since this tree blows around a lot in the wind it could do with a reduction in heigh to reduce the wind from blowing it around and where the stem is weak from the rotting hole, snapping off and landig on their house. I am asking for consent to reduce the tree in height by 4 metres and the lateral growth (width) by 3 metres leaving a broad natural shape all round and pristine finish to the tree. This would reassure John & Bamba that the tree weight is reduced and has a less risk of blowing over.

Thorpe Farm House Thorpe Street Aston Upthorpe Didcot OX11 9EQ
T1 - Copper Beech - Reduce branches by approximately 2 metres focusing mainly on lateral branches rather than the top. Lift canopy to provide statutory clearance over the road and clear from service cables. T2 - Tulip Tree - Reduce by approximately 3 metres to restore balance within the crown due to previous limb failure leaving the tree unbalanced. T3 - Horse Chestnut - Reduce by approximately 3 to 4 metres, leaving a natural flowing crown outline and remove major deadwood. T4 - To fell and remove 1 x Yew tree and install eco plugs to prevent re-growth.

Magnolia Tree - 1.5m reduce and height and lateral spread to previous pruning points

P26/S4354/TPO Granted
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.
