Planning application
39 Valley Road, Henley-on-Thames, Oxon
Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
To remove Lime (T1) from the front garden of 39a Valley Road. Reasons: The tree is an unsuitable species for this location, because it is too large for the plot, and still growing vigorously. The tree will require regular and expensive maintenance to contain its size (to ensure it does not cause a nuisance to the tree owner and neighbours). It is unreasonable to expect a tree owner to maintain an unsuitably located tree. One new standard size Silver Birch will be planted close to the position of the original tree. T1 Beech (Beech felled) Spec: S15 Fell tree to ground level. Spec: S20 Betula pendula 10-12cm girth (selected standard) Reason: R1 Sound arboricultural management Reason: R6 Poor structural condition Reason: R7 Close to building, services, road or public highway (delete as appropriate)

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.
