  Hillside Cottage, Church Hill, Forest Hill, Oxford, OX33 1EG

  T1 - Ash TG2 - 2 x Prunus T3 - Yew T4 - Ash T1 - Ash (10m height) - fell to ground level due to blocking light to the house, dominating upper garden with close proximity to house and low amenity value. TG2 - 2 no Prunus (3m height respectively) - fell both trees to ground level due to over topping from mature oak and poor form. T3 - Yew (4m height) - partial crown reduction of south western over extended branches by up to 1m back to suitable growth points into thicker natural canopy line. T4 - Ash (18m height) - overall crown reduction by 1-2m where appropriate growth points present and in accordance to BS3998 tree work standards. Tree currently blocks S/SW light entrance to garden and house - thinning the somewhat naturally 'lions-tailed' existing canopy appears a less effective option. *Possibly outside the conservation area as growing on the boundary line.* Remarks:

• 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.
