Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
Yew tree to north east side of church Removal of low hanging branches to a height approximately 2m above ground level. (The branches hang down in a similar manner to a weeping willow, s this is not removing them at the trunk, just trimming to a height above the ground. This will allow access to a memorial bench which is around the trunk, and to graves which are now under the canopy. Remarks:

St Margarets Church, Mapledurham Village, Reading, RG4 7TP
T1 - Maple tree Fell the single maple tree (acer platanoides - Norway Maple "Crimson King") to north west of St Margarets Church. Firstly, the tree was originally planted in the churchyard without permission (a diocesan faculty). The tree has now grown to a size where the roots are damaging the adjacent listed wall (a large hole has just had to be filled). Lastly we wish to restore the historical view of the church from the road and watermill direction which can be seen at http://photos.francisfrith.com/frith/mapledurham-st-margaret-s-church-1910_62214_large.jpg.

Reasons for Works – The tree is located in close proximity to the property and has previously been managed in line with the proposed works. The objective is to maintain the tree at an appropriate size for its location while continuing the established management regime.

P26/S3994/TCA Decided
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.
