Proposal

T1 - Horse Chestnut - fell to ground level. The main trunk of the tree contains a large area of decay (see photo) which presents a significant risk of failure. The tree is located close to No.5 and the drive of the neighbouring property, any failure is likely to cause damage to property and possibly cause harm to residents. There are bleeding lesions on the main stem and the tree is showing poor signs of health. Given the defect highlighted above and poor health of this tree it is quite clear the risk of failure and likely damage to private property this would cause out ways the public amenity provided by this tree. T2 Oak - prune to give minimum 2m clearance to roof, this will be achieved by pruning back to suitable growth points (see photos). Reduce long lateral extending towards Quarry Lane (see photo). Reasons: Reduce risk of failure of long limb. To contain spread of tree, improve visual shape of tree, to stop damage to property. The above works will have very little effect on the health and visual amenity of this tree. T2 Oak Spec: S8 Prune back to suitable secondary branches to ensure m clearance from building.

    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.
