  28-34 Woodlands Road, Sonning Common

  On Mrs Stanley's property there are two common Oak trees (Quercus robur) that need attention. The largest of the two trees shown as T1 on the map needs a crown reduction in height by 3 metres and a reduction in width by 2 metres encouraging a broad natural shape all round with all pruning points left with new growth/leaf point. this will improve the light into Mrs Stanleys house/flower beds and reduce the slippery path caused by the shade that gros moss. The tree also needs a full major dead wood removal to leave the tree looking tidy/smart for finishing touches. Tree number two marked as T2 on map is the smaller of the two and leans over electric/phone lines trying to get to the light. This tree needs to have some weight removed, 2 metre in reduction in height and 1 metre reduction in width, all dead wood removed, leaving broad natural shape.

  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.

  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.
