Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
The larger of the two trees (T1) has had branch failures in the past as noted by the neighbouring property. At approximately 3 metres from ground level is a compression fork with included bark and bulge present. To the east is the adjacent beech (T2) which has suppressed the growth of T1 on the east side, therefore T1 also has an asymmetric crown. It should be noted that T1 appears to have no notable pruning history and some maintenance would be suggested to minimise the risk to public/residents and property. T2 is in a good condition however the root flare is buried. T2 also shares the same crown space as T1 and should be treated as a whole. Due to the noted defect within T1 it is suggested to crown reduce approximately by 1.5m and a light crown lift to approximately 6m above ground level to allow more light in surrounding gardens. T2 would then be pruned to match the height of T1. All pruning cuts made will be to suitable growth points. After pruning works are completed it is suggested to monitor the progress of the compression fork annually. It is also suggested that the pruning works need to be unertaken as soon as possible as it would not be advisable to prune at leaf fall due to the trees having low energy levels to heal.

P26/S4235/TCA Decided
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.

1 Sherwood Gardens Henley-on-thames RG9 1QJ
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.
