Proposal
Large Horse Chestnut tree - the tree appears to be in generally good condition with no signs of Bleeding Canker. Given that the tree was inspected during the dormant season the canopy could not be inspected for Leaf Minor or Leaf Blotch. It was noted that several sections of outgrown lateral limbs have recently broken and fallen from the mid canopy. Given that a significant proportion of the west side of the canopy overhangs the adjacent access road further such stem failures have significant implications for the health and safety of traffic using this access way. In order to improve the stability of the canopy sections I recommend that the tree be reduced by approximately 15% of crown volume, reducing the upper more upright sections by approximately 2.5m and the most over-extended laterals by up to 4m, as required to promote a more evenly balanced and rounded canopy outline. All sections of significant deadwood to be removed and central live growth to be lightly thinned by removing rubbing or crossing growth. G1 The group consisting of 9 Beech (1 FELLED) and 3 Horsechestnuts Spec: S1 Reduce crown height by 2.5m, reduce over extended lateral branches by approx 4m Spec: S2 Thin crown by a maximum of 15% retaining an even density of foliage throughout a well-spaced and ba Spec: S3 Remove deadwood. Spec: S5 Remove damaged branches Spec: S19 Please add the following at the end of all the aprroved works: All pruning cuts must be made at bra Reason: R1 Sound arboricultural management Reason: R2 To ensure future compatibility with site, surroundings and usage Reason: R7 Close to building, road or public highway (delete as appropriate)

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.
