Planning application
St Andrews Church, Church Close, East Hagbourne, Didcot, OX11 9ND
Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
Yew tree hedge Yew tree hedge which forms the boundary between St Andrews Church and The Old Stables located immediately behind The Old Stables. These trees were once a managed hedge but have been allowed to grow unmaintained for a number of years. They form the boundary between the two properties but are now causing obstruction to the rear windows of The Old Stables and creating significant moss and debris to the roof and guttering. We have sought the advice of an arborist and together with the Church we have all agreed that we would like to carry out the recommended works as soon as possible (October is the recommended month). The recommonded works are as follows: 1. To reduce the height of the hedge by no more than half 2. To reduce and even out the rear face of the hedge (that side that is currently touching The Old Stables). 3. To regularly maintain thereafter as a managed hedge. 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.
