Planning application

5 River Terrace, HENLEY-ON-THAMES, Oxon, RG9 1BG

Refused South Oxfordshire P15/S4801/TPO Works to TPO

Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

T1 - Deodar Cedar. Fell. Tree planted approx 30 years ago as an ornamental. The tree has now exceeded its space (approx 50 ft tall) and is due to grow considerably larger. The row of buildings to the rear of the tree are listed. It is growing almost on the fence line between number 4 and 5 River Terrace and there is obvious visual evidence of slabs being lifted in number 5. A dwarf variety of a similar species would be planted nearby to negate the loss.

As published by the council, reference P15/S4801/TPO

    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.
