  T1 - Lime - both Lime trees are located at the bottom of the garden 10m from the house. Each tree sits nearer each corner and approx 2 ft away from the very old back wall that forms the conservation area boundary (beyond the wall). Lime T1 - located at the bottom left of the garden immediately adjacent to the conservation boundary wall and Lime T2, again adjacent to the wall in the right hand corner, both are approx 10m from the house. The conservation boundary wall is very old and majestic and is integral to the character of the area. These fast growing trees are very close to this wall and we have concerns about the damage they may cause e.g. roots disrupting the structure. We propose to fell both Lime trees after an assessment and discussion with an arborist. We agreed that the canopy of the trees is very imposing on the property and garden in terms of blocking the path of light. This makes living in the property less pleasant and requires lights being turned on for longer periods which is costly and a waste of energy. We agreed that these Lime trees appear within the gap between the larger well spaced trees in adjacent gardens and in their absence would allow much needed light into the garden and property without losing the effect of green/foliage that is more than provided for by the remaining plants and trees in the area. Furthermore we propose to replace the two lime trees with two Silver Birch which are more appropriate for the area, as they form a less dense canopy and branch spread and are easier to maintain properly. Also the shadow creates a slippery surface for our three young children. The arborist also advised removal of the ivy on the wall as it is imposing and damaging the wall.

  1 x Horse Chestnut tree located at the bottom of the garden. Reduce canopy in height by 5 metres or less if required. Reduce sides to form good shape. Remove limb towards house - due to crack. Lift the crown to make it even. This is to allow more light into the garden as currently the tree is overwhelming the garden.

  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.

  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.
