Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.

Proposal

T1 - Cherry Following my meeting with Mr Stone at The Boathouse Pub regarding the unstable section of wall adjacent a mature Cherry tree, I now report my findings and recommendations: The cherry trees root system appears to be responsible for the "bowing out" section of brick retaining wall. The weight of the tree combined with its incremental root growth has resulted in the soil being moved and pushing against the retaining wall, causing the wall to bow out and hence the wall is considered unstable. The Cherry tree is considered over mature and in decline, and given its poor structural and physiological condition, combined with its low useful life expectancy, the tree is regarded as not worthy of retention. This combined with the damage that the tree is causing the adjacent retaining wall means that is removal is required and justified. On closer inspection of the tree it was found that the main stem is severely decay damaged and therefore the wood has been structurally weakened, and the canopy is showing signs of decline as a rsult of the death of the cambium layer. As the tree is located adjacent to a busy pub garden and overhaning seating areas it is our advice that the tree is removed for health and safety reasons. To grind out the main stump to 200mm below ground level and back fill the void. 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.
