  Giant Sequoia - Removal due to canopy decline, the tree is location within close proximity ICT/art block. As the tree is located at the entrance/exit of the school there is a very high risk of danger from limb break outs. Children, staff and visitors use the patio area under the tree daily to get to the ICT/art block and enter/leave school. The tree appears to be in rapid decline, we have attached photographs of the tree in October 2019 and September 2021. The tree is the last remaining tree in the raised bed, with suspected honey fungus. Work - Fell to ground level.

  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.
