Decided South Oxfordshire P17/S5074/TPO Works to TPO

Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.

Proposal

T3 - Weeping Willow to restructure to 3m below historic topping points and reshape to allow for future growth to mitigate risk of failure. T4 & 5 - Two dead trees behind shed to fell to ground level. T1 - Beech tree by building to dismantle in sections to ground level. Potentially unstable fork union at crown break. Tree is not sustainable long term and notwithstanding the weak union the tree is too close to the building to be sustainable long term without constant management pruning. T2 - Pine tree to reduce lowest limb by 1-1.5m to mitigate risk of failure. T1 Beech Spec: S16 Fell tree to ground level and grind stump. Reason: R4 To address potential hazard Reason: R6 Poor, structural condition T2 Pine Spec: S1 Reduce lowest limb by 1-1.5m Reason: R2 To ensure future compatibility with site, surroundings and usage T3 Willow Spec: S1 Reduce to 3m below historic topping points. Reason: R2 To ensure future compatibility with site, surroundings and usage

  • 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.
