  • P16/S4982/TPO Granted

    Oak Tree Farm, Didcot

    Oak - fell. 1. The tree works are proposed to stop the influence of the tree(s) on the soil below building foundation level and provide long term stability. 2. Estimated costs of repair to the building at £30K if the influence of the tree(s) remain and £3K if the proposed tree works are allowed to proceed. Granting permission will limit these costs. In the event of a refusal, we or or clients, will seek to secure compensation for the additonal costs incurred through Section 202(e). 3. Should the tree/s remain the total cost of repairs will be the Superstructural repairs plus alternative method of repairs = £33K. 4. It is the expert opinion of both the case engineer and arboriculturalist that on the balance of probabilities the supporting information demonstrates the influence of the trees. 5. Further monitoring results may be submitted if these become available during the course of this application.

    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.
