  • P14/S4694/TPO Granted

    Chinnor Road, Aston Rowant

    We are in an area that has protected areas/groups. Our roadside ditch has self seeded trees growing through it, which is preventing us from maintaining it. This ditch takes water run off from the A40. The ditch is so silted up that in heavy rain fall floods our land, and also the drive of one of our properties Oxford Lodge. We are seeking to fell these trees, scrub out the dead and dying ivy covered trees and hedge, then clean out the ditch and replant the hedge. This would have numerous benefits that we can renew our boundary fence to make us stockproof again as we keep sheep. It will also provide a better habitat for bird life with a more varied place for nesting. It will also be safer for traffic on the A40 as the risk of branches falling on the highway will be reduced. We also plan to replant the trees from a previous application ref TPO 52B02MG as these would have good place to be able to grow. Please see attached 1 & 2 photos from google earth with highlighted area for application.

  • 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.
