Cuddesdon House, Cuddesson
T1269 - Holm Oak - crown reduction 30% and deadwood removal. The tree has a severe fungi infection, Ganoderma Australe, which has caused white rot as well as a thinning brown canopy, trunk discolouration and deadwood throughout. A reduction to help prevent further damage from wind or the heavyweight the tree may no longer be able to support. Weakening causes through the fungi infection. T1271 - complete removal. Tree is severely rotten and dead. Rot cavity holes into the tree, at the base of the trunk and half way up. Dead branches all the way up tree. Tree needs to be completely removed as soon as possible.

Cuddesdon House, Cuddesson
G7 - 3 Holly, Photo 1 (H1-3 on plan). Reduce height by 12'-15'. Reasons: Primary: safety trees are roadside, one stem has fallen into road recently, (photo 2) so reducing to increase stability. Secondary: Increase light into garden area, and to encourage lower growth to thicken up screen. Additional planting recommended. Holm Oak (H02 on plan). Remove broken branch (photo 3) and prune growth back on garden side to regain shape and to encourage lower growth to thicken screen. Holm Oak (H01 on plan, photo 4). Reduce back stems over road. Holm Oak (T3) sustained snow damage (photo 5) inspect wound damage and clean up to minimise possibility of further damage if necessary.

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.

P26/S3994/TCA Decided
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.
