Planning application
Wisteria House, Walton Avenue, Henley-on-Thames
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1, T2, T3 & T4 Lime trees, thin crowns by 30%. Crown clean and crown lift to 6m. T5. Horse Chestnut thin crown by 30% and crown clean. These trees are owned by Lime Court which consists of several apartments. T1, T2, T3 & T5 are situated on Walton Avenue, unlike T4 which is within the garden of Lime Court. T1, T2 & T3 are Lime Trees, and are part of an avenue of Limes which are regularly pollarded on Walton Avenue. Some of the residents of Lime Court wanted the trees pollarded to match the test of the Avenue and allow more light into the property. Whilst some were against this as they were worried about losing their privacy. The work I have applied for is a compromise which will allow more light into the property whilst maintaining privacy. T4 & T5 require the same work specification so that the trees are consistent. G1 The group consisting of 48 Limes (excluding the tree outside 9/11 Walton Avenue) Spec: S1 Reduce crown by a maximum of n% and reshape Spec: S3 Remove deadwood. Spec: S5 Remove damaged branches Spec: S6 Remove crossing branches Spec: S7 Lift crown to a height of above ground level, by removing branch tips only , by removing bran Reason: R2 To ensure future compatibility with site, surroundings and usage
