Proposal

T1 - Lawson Cypress - fell to ground level. Reasons: Tree has recently shed some lower limbs. The main stem breaks into 3 leaders at approx 1.5m. These leaders have included unions and reaction growth indicates that failure of one of these stems is likely. Tree shades and dominates neighbours garden. The tree is located behind Farringdon House and does not add to the amenity of the area. T2 - Yew - fell to ground level. Reasons: large section of the trees canopy recently failed falling into Mill Road. The trees canopy is sparse and the tree looks to be in decline. The owner wishes to fell the tree and replant the hedge on the boundary with Mill Road. It has proved difficult to get new planting establish due to the Yew tree. It is not clear whether this tree is covered by the TPO but application is submitted on the basis that it may be. T2 Conifer Spec: S15 Fell tree to ground level. Reason: R6 Poor health, structural condition of form (delete as appropriate)

    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.
