Proposal

T1 - Ash T2 - Ash T3 - Horse Chestnut T4 - 2 x Pine T5 - Ash T1 - Ash tree in corner of garden opposite number 7. Remove major deadwood over 50mm in diameter and girdle ivy on main trunk to 1m to allow inspection of base. Inspect unions and cavities. T2 - Ash by rear garage. Tree appears to be in decline. Remove major deadwood over 50mm in diameter, raise canopy over garage to give 1-1.5m clearance. Reduce upper section over garage by 2-2.5m to balance crown. T3 - Horse Chestnut. Assymetric canopy. Raise canopy over garage to give 1-1.5m clearance, reduce canopy over road by 1-1.5m to mitigate wind loading and balance crown in anticipation of the eventual removal of the declining Ash that forms a combined canopy with this tree. T4 - 2 x Pine trees to rear of property to remove sections of major deadwood over 50mm in diameter. T5 - Ash adjacent to 13/14 Bell Lane. Remove sections of major deadwood over 50mm in diameter, reduce tree overall by 1-1.5m from top and 1.5-2m from sides equating to a 30% foliar reduction. Tree has reached a size where it is becoming out of scale with its surroundings and is starting to displace the historic boundary wall. Remarks:

    T1 - Ash T1 - Ash - located on boundary adjacent to cricket club. Previously pruned and now starting to encroach onto thatch. Some deadwood present throughout crown. As a species ash has the capacity to grow into a large specimen. This tree in particular could potentially cause problems to the house and thatch if allowed to grow to its full potential. Therefore a pruning regime should be implemented to help abate future problems and to keep the tree in harmony with its surroundings. Thin/reduce by 15% by removing up to 1.5 metres of apical and lateral growth. Remove to source lowest limb growing over lawn (approx 4") and adjacent limb (approx 3"). Ensure 2.5 metres clearance from building and thatch. Remarks:

  • 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.
