Planning application

52 Vicarage Road, HENLEY-ON-THAMES, Oxon

Granted South Oxfordshire P15/S4774/TPO Works to TPO

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Tree T2 - I wish to remove the tree, after a site visit. It has no amenity value. It is surrounded by other trees (T1/T5). It has spread across a neighbours garden causing excessive shading and reducing light into her home. Due to its location, I do not believe it will be necessary to replace it, but will be guided by you. We had previously been given permission to remove T1, but instead chose to reduce and lift the crown. T2 Cypress Spec: S15 Fell tree to ground level.

    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.
