  T2 - Beech - the stump of a previous felled tree, situated directly in front of T2 has decayed to the point that it will no longer support any weight. Unfortunately appearance of the remains of the stump and the ground in the area gives no indication of how fragile they are. The area will be excavated using hand tools. The resultant hole will be filled with soil, again using hand tools. T2 Copper Beech Spec: S1 Whilst removing stump using hand-held tools, any roots of the adjacent tree larger than 25mm diamete Reason: R1 Sound arboricultural management

  Larch (T1) - prune low hanging branches over the adopted highway to provide a 2.5m clearance above ground level. Beech (T2) - fell for the following 2 reasons: 1. T2 causes my partner and I significant psychological strain and worry. While at a logical level I trust and accept the professional opinion of Sylva Consultancy that T2 doesn't represent immediate danger, it is impossible not to worry every time I see the angle that T2 leans towards the house. This is only exasperated by the knowledge of the incident at No. 22. 2. If it were to fall, it would land on the two rooms we occupy the most, adding to my concerns. Beech (T2) - if felling is not permitted, I would like to undertake a lateral crown reduction of up to 2m on the northern side of the canopy and to undertake a 10% crown thin, concentrating on the northern side to reduce the density of the canopy. This is to reduce the risk of T2 falling towards the house and driveway. Beech (T4) fell for the following 2 reasons: 1. T4 also causes my partner a great deal of worry, the branches and roots are within touching distance of the house. 2. The surface root mentioned in the report is directly in the main path used to access the rear garden and therefore subject to wear and tear. Beech (T4) - if felling is not permitted, I would like to undertake prune branches so as to provide a 2m clearance to the guttering. Beech (T8) Prune canopy/epicormics, undertake a lateral crown reduction of up to 2m on the eastern side of the canopy and to undertake a 10% crown thin, throughout canopy to reduce the density of the canopy. Remove epicormic growth at 3m agl to allow great amenity of garden and neighbours' gardens. Beech (T9) - prune canopy, undertake a lower canopy lateral reduction by up to 3m on the north side to prune the canopy back from the neighbouring property. As all three neighbours have commented on the negative impact the trees on my property have on their gardens by limiting light and depositing vast amounts of leaf litter. These two factors result in a considerable reduction in the enjoyment they could otherwise expect. I would like to be a good neighbour and prune as much as possible to allow light into their gardens and reduce the falling leaf litter. Beech (T10) - prune canopy, undertake a lower canopy lateral reduction by up to 3m on the north side to prune the canopy back from the neighbouring property. As all three neighbours have commented on the native impact the trees on my property have on their gardens by limiting light and depositing vast amounts of leaf litter. These two factors result in a considerable reduction in the enjoyment they could otherwise expect. T10 dominates two of our neighbours' gardens. I would like to be a good neighbour and prune as much as possible to allow light into their gardens and reduce the falling leaf litter.

  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.

  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.
