These are marked with yellow spray. There is also an old spreading Oak tree, and they would definitely like any overhanging branches removed making sure the tree is within the boundary of Wittenham House. Also Mrs Hanson has requested a small reduction of two or three lateral branches on the Walnut tree at the southern end of the tennis court. Extended branches have broken off previously. Remarks:

Overall, the tree shows a lack of vitality observed through lower than expected extension growth, bud density and size, like the Lime this is most likely age cycle related. - Reduce one low lateral that extends over wall by up to 2m.

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.
