Proposal
1 x Late mature Copper Beech - the encroachment of infrastructure both historically and over the last decade combined with late maturity has allowed this tree to become susceptible to Kretzschmaria deusta, now in evidence. The Kretzschmaria deusta is sufficiently advanced to be of concern and located consistently on the east, west and south of the tree with a further concentration close to the trifurcation at 6m a.g.l on the east. Additionally, on the east there is bark dlamination and significant frass. The above observations indicate pathogen presence being advanced and present for some time. To satisfy duty of care the tree is now regarded as hazardous and will require removal. The client is conscientious and we wish to plant a significant large tree approx 3m to the north. This will be either an English Oak or Fastigiate Oak (heavy standard). Additionally we wish to plan an Acer campestre (heavy standard to the western boundary). 1 x Thuja located in front garden - remove dead, dying and diseased wood and lightly canopy thin by 10% targeting branch ends predominantly. Strip ivy and inspect integrity of bifurcation. T1 Copper Beech Spec: S16 Fell tree to ground level and grind stump. Reason: R1 Sound arboricultural management Reason: R2 To ensure future compatibility with site, surroundings and usage Reason: R3 Limited safe useful life expectancy Reason: R4 To address potential hazard Reason: R6 Poor health, structural condition of form (delete as appropriate) Reason: R7 Close to building, services, road or public highway (delete as appropriate) T2 FELLED - Robinia Spec: S2 Thin crown by a maximum of 10% retaining an even density of foliage throughout a well-spaced and ba Spec: S3 Remove deadwood. Spec: S5 Remove damaged branches Spec: S17 Remove ivy

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.

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.
