  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:

  T2 Ash - Reduce the height and spread of the tree by up to 1.5 metres, approximately back to the previous pruning points. Reduce the growth extending towards the house and surrounding shrubs by up to 2 metres to provide additional clearance and address the existing crown imbalance. Additionally, crown lift over the garden to provide a minimum clearance of 3 metres above ground level. Ensure a natural, well-balanced crown is retained. Reasons for Works – The tree is located in close proximity to the property and has previously been managed in line with the proposed works. The objective is to maintain the tree at an appropriate size for its location while continuing the established management regime.

  7 Vicarage Road Henley-on-thames RG9 1HF

  There are two trees in the front garden Permission is requested to fell both trees. Tree 1 = Weeping Birch Tree Tree 2 = Maple Tree Weeping Birch (Tree 1) This has become too large for the site, the roots are lifting the paving around it, making it a trip hazard. Roots have also entered the nearby drains, causing problems. Permission is sought to fell the tree, to make safe access to the property and to make space on the driveway for off street parking. (There is a nearby primary school, and parking can be a challenge.) Maple (Tree 2) This tree has also become too big for its location, which is very close to the boundary of No. 5 and No. 7 Vicarage Rd, causing lifting of the paving around it. It is also very close to both houses. Permission is sought to fell this tree.
