    Gp 1 & Gp 2 - Lime T1-T18 - Limes T19-T23 - Beech Gp 3 - Hornbeam T23-T34 - Limes Gp 1 & Gp 2 - Limes - Annual pruning to maintain these two lines of Lime trees that are pruned annually as a cloud hedge either side of the driveway to the house. T1-T18 - Limes - crown lift each tree to 2.4m. These trees form two lines of planting designed to form an avenue through a geometrically designed garden where shape and form is important. T19-T23 - Beech - crown lift each tree to 2.4m to improve uniformity of trees in this garden for the reason given above for the Lime trees. Gp 3 - Hornbeam - crown lift to 2.4m. This work is to improve uniformity and to maintain light to the blocks of hedge below. T23-T34 - Limes - crown lift to 2.5m. These trees are planted and designed to have a formal look and the work specified is to maintain that appearance. The trees are also shading the blocks of hedging below and the crown lifting will also improve this. Remarks: Spec:

    T1 - Lime Tree T2 - Horse Chestnut Gp 3 - Lime Avenue T1 - Lime tree - Pollard at 10-12 metres. Retain some lower growth pruned back to suitable points that will promote better crown shape. This tree is fairly exposed and leans towards adjacent property. There is concern that the tree or parts of it may fall on or near the property beneath. Also the main union at around 8 metres is poorly formed with included bark posing the risk of failure. T2 - Horse Chestnut - Raise crown to around 4.5 metres (height of arch with lamp). Remove all dead wood. Tip reduce growth over arch to give 1 metre clearance. Reduce low limb extended over boundary wall by around 2 metres to improve crown balance. This work is to improve the visual appeal of this tree in relation to surrounding walls and archway. Grp 3 - Lime Avenue (14 trees in all). These trees to be pruned to a unified geometric box shaped crown. They were planted and dsigned to be pruned to this specific shape. 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.
