Proposal
G5 - Scots Pine - The tree has a major fork at 9.5m and a major zig zag branch above this height. The tree appears structurally sound and little could be removed from the tree without significant loss of amenity. Remove deadwood. T7 - Cherry - The tree is one sided due to adjacent holly. A large low branch to the east is fine. The tree forks at 4.0 cm. A smaller branch with a tight lesion and possible included bark overhangs the drive and should be removed to reduce risk. *Agreed to remove branch. G5 - Austrian Pine - The tree has a three way fork at 8.0m. One very large branch over hangs the adjacent property. The branch looks secure but would do considerable damage were it to fail. Remove deadwood and consider removal of overhanging branch. *Reduce to ¿ metre clearance from roof. Thin by 20% shorten by 2/3m only G5 - Austrian Pine - The tree has a three way fork at 8.0 m. One large low branch overhangs the neighbour's garden. Remove deadwood. G5 - Austrian Pine - A good even crown slightly one sided in the lower part. No forks. Remove the deadwood. G5 - Austrian Pine The tree has a major fork at 9.0m remove the deadwood. G5 - Austrian Pine - The tree has a tight fork with possible included bark between 1.5 and 2.5m. It will cause little damage should it fail. The tree has a further fork and stem kink at 9.0 m. Remove deadwood. G5 - Scots Pine - The main stem is vertical but then has a severe stem kink at 8.0 m and is overtopped by tree T 7. The tree grows over the garden from 8.0 m. Remove deadwood. G5 - Austrian Pine - The tree has a major fork at 9.0m A significant low branch over the neighbours garden appears secure. Remove snapped branch and deadwood including the large branch over the garden. G5 - Austrian Pine - The tree forks at 10.0 m the large branch over the neighbour's garden appears secure. Remove deadwood. G5 - Austrian Pine - The tree has a large stem cavity on the east side at 6.0m that should be inspected aerially. The cavity looks old and it is likely that the tree has compartmentalised the decay. The tree is one sided due to T-10. Remove deadwood. * Agreed to raise canopy when deadwooding. G5 - Beech - The tree has a major fork at 2.0m with one stem growing over the neighbour's garden. Small branch ends have been historically pruned. The tree is one sided due to T 11 T6 - Horse Chestnut - * Agreed to remove and replace with a female yew tree on the right hand boundary

Thorpe Farm House Thorpe Street Aston Upthorpe Didcot OX11 9EQ
T1 - Copper Beech - Reduce branches by approximately 2 metres focusing mainly on lateral branches rather than the top. Lift canopy to provide statutory clearance over the road and clear from service cables. T2 - Tulip Tree - Reduce by approximately 3 metres to restore balance within the crown due to previous limb failure leaving the tree unbalanced. T3 - Horse Chestnut - Reduce by approximately 3 to 4 metres, leaving a natural flowing crown outline and remove major deadwood. T4 - To fell and remove 1 x Yew tree and install eco plugs to prevent re-growth.

T1 Copper Beech. Low canopy over road and footpath. To raise canopy to statutory clearances, (5.2m over road, 2.5m over footpath). To remove deadwood greater than 60mm over road and footpath, for safety purposes, minimising any chance for larger falling deadwood in windy conditions.

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.
