T1 - Sweet Chestnut - 30% canopy reduction. Reason for works - the tre is located within very close proximity to the property, the canopy is also heavily weighted towards buildings. T2 - Oak - reduce large scaffold limbs by 2m, in order to prevent breakout over buildings. T3 - Beech - cut back beech overhanging shed and driveway by 2m. In addition, the owner of the property is experiencing vermin issues in the roof (squirrels). The pest control officer has suggested the tree works would reduce/prevent this issue.

Peak tree to be lopped by 7m, neighboured tree to be reduced by 4m. The tree identified by EE Ltd is severely affecting the transmission of telecoms site 93310. This EE Ltd site forms part of the Emergency Services Network which is vital for police, ambulance and rescue communication etc for the surrounding area. I have sought the attached information from my client to see whether there were any other alternatives than to lop the tree.

We wish to remove the remaining trees in G24 and replant with a new group of trees, preferably oak. The number of trees in this group has been steadily declining since the feb 1991 gale. There are now just 5 remaining, the most recent gale casualties being just before midnight 23-12-13, landing across the driveway and destroying fencing on both sides of the driveway. The group of trees was originally planted in a circle and the remaining 3 beech trees in this group have brances only on one side making them particularly vulnerable to high winds. The larger horse chestnut tree was very close to one the beeches that fell last year and so it's roots have been bedly damaged and are still exposed; hence why our arborist has adviced that this tree should also be felled. This leaves just one small chestnut tree. Ideally we would like to maintain the parklandaspect of the field and replant a new circle of 12 oakes in the same area. We beleive the new trees would stand a better chance of developing properly if they were not competing unevenly with this one remaining chesnut. Hence we ask permission to fell the entire group of 5 trees at this time. Stumps would beground out ready for re planting. G24 A group consisting of 5 Beech, 2 Horse chestnut Spec: S15 Fell tree to ground level. Reason: R1 Sound arboricultural management Reason: R2 To ensure future compatibility with site, surroundings and usage Reason: R3 Limited safe useful life expectancy Reason: R4 To address potential hazard Reason: R6 Poor health, structural condition of form (delete as appropriate)

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.

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.
