Planning application

Footpath at the rear of Blandy Road, Henley on Thames, Oxon

Granted South Oxfordshire P15/S4848/TPO Works to TPO

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

T2 - Oak on public footpath to the rear boundary. Reduce lateral branches on lower canopy only by approx 1.5m. I would like to obtain consent for reducing lateral branches on an English Oak Tree. The tree is positioned on the rear footpath on Peppard Lane and just outside the boundary of Blandy Road. The tree is a mature species showing good vigour. By reducing these lateral branches, this will promote more natural light throughout the garden. The tree is considered by my client to have strong amenity and ecological values. I suggest reducing the laterials by 1.5m on the lower canopy only. All cuts will be made at sufficient branch junctions ensuring live growth is present, no cuts will exceed 750mm.

    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.
