The Old Vicarage, Chestnuts, Wood Lane, Kidmore End, RG4 9BB

Granted South Oxfordshire P16/S4964/TPO Works to TPO

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

T1- horse chestnut- remove deadwood, 3-4 metres cut back of overhanging branches to significant growing point T2- Horse Chestnut- remove deadwood, crown thinning by 20% , 3-4 metre cut back of overhanging branches to significant growing point. Reasons for pruning is to reduce the load on extended branches on both T1 & T2 as T2 has a history of large branch breakage (photo P1 & P2 inserted). Remove deadwood to maintain the health of the trees. (P12). Reduce overhanging branches on garden to allow a marquee to be erected next summer for our wedding a reduce the risk of breakage (P4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11). Photos demonstrate what the overhang currently looks like and the suggested areas to cut back, based on advice from a tree surgeon. Crown thinning of 20% of T2 is to 1) improve the safety of a mature, heavily weighted tree in close proximity to residential areas 2) reduce excessive shading as three horse chestnuts in a line are currently imposing (P13). Overview of all works is shown in P13 to equate to 4 pruning cuts (2 on each tree), deadwood removal and crown thinning of T2. The trees are also very large and in close proximity of residential areas so this work should help to prevent unwanted breakage of branches which has the potential to be dangerous and unhealthy for the trees.

    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.
