  T1 - Wild Cherry Tree Remove one tree where currently there are three in close proximity to each other. The proposal is to remove the middle tree in order to allow the remaining two to thrive. In addition, these trees overhang wooden play equipment which in the damp shade of the trees can cause the equipment to become slippery. Removing one of these trees will alleviate this situation. The tree concerned is a Wild Cherry tree. Remarks:

  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.
