Planning application
Fairmile Hospital, Reading Road, Cholsey, Wallingford
Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
Hornbeam tree - located in front garden of 6 Ferry Way, Cholsey. This tree has grown significantly in the last 9 years and is now too high for its proximity to our house (and neighbouring properties). Having consulted our tree surgeon we request approval to reduce the height of the tree by one third (c 30%) in order to reduce threat of potential damage to our property and improve light in the front garden/front of property.

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.
