Proposal
T1 - Beech leaning due to group pressure. Cavity in main stem at 3m from ground level approx, some major deadwood and die back visible in crown. Reduce apical and lateral growth by 1.5m approx to reduce sail and windage due to increased exposure from recently felled adjacent specimens. Remove major deadwood and inspect cavity. T2 - Ginko. Twin stemmed, supported on potentially weak union, cable brace with non invasive support to dampen excessive movement and minimise risk of failure, thin crown by 10%. T3 - Willow. Remove major deadwood up to 25mm diameter. Primary limb growing towards river with decay cavity located at 6m above ground level approx, reduce stem 2m (20%) approx to suitable growth point. T4 - Malus. Remove deadwood and crossing limbs and adventitious growths from main union.

The trees run east along the south side of the private road from the addres above for -250m. The trees in question are those in contact with the old post and wire fencing. Removal of old post and wire fencing that is currently damaging the trees. This will include removal of the concreted metal fence posts, by hand with spade and pick (ie. no heavy machinery in the root zone). Install new wooden post and rail wooded fencing the edge of the road. This is approximately 2 metres away from the tree centres and borders the very edge of the TPO area. Stakes will be used for fence posts, there will be no use of concrete. The posts will be hand driven, there will be no heavy machinery in the root zone - Winter 2015/2016, lay a double row of Hawthorn hedge along the new fence line.

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.
