Planning application
The Retreat, 30 Wellington Street, Thame, Oxon, OX9 3BN
Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
T1 - Copper Beech The tree is situated in a raised area on the south west side of the entrance drive. There is a potentially weak union with included bark where the main stem bifurcates at approximately 2 metres from ground level at the base of the tree. The secondary stems are obscured by Ivy. The canopy has developed primarily to the north and south and overhangs the drive, associated parking area and the adjacent road, this is due to the close proximity of two further Copper Beech to the south east and west that have larger more balanced crowns. There is not really room for three trees that have a spreading crown form in such close proximity to each other. This one is the least developed and causes the most issues with light, detritus and bird droppings as well as being potentially the most structurally unstable. Remove tree to improve light ingress to property and surrounding area, reduce bird droppings, detritus and allow room for remaining tree to develop providing sustainable visual amenity to the surrounding area into the future.

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.
