    T1 Hazel - Selectively re-coppice the larger diameter stems back to the coppice stool. Re-pollard the remaining smaller diameter stems back to the previous pollard points to retain the existing management regime. T2 Walnut - Reduce the lateral spread encroaching towards both neighbouring gardens by up to 1.5m, pruning back to suitable growth points to reduce end weight and improve crown balance. The purpose of these works is to contain the crown within the current setting, which leans towards the neighbouring properties from ground level and is supported by a tight primary union at approximately 1.25m above ground level. Final pruning cuts shall not exceed 60mm in diameter. T3 Hazel - Fell the three ivy-clad stems to ground level. Additionally, coppice the smaller stems located in front of the larger stems to ground level. T4 Fastigiate Apple - Reduce the height of the crown by approximately 1.0–1.25m to a finished height between the window sill and the top of the upper window. Additionally, selectively reduce extended lateral branches back to suitable inward-facing growth points and thin dense areas of the inner crown to improve crown structure. The purpose of these works is to maintain an appropriate size and form within the current domestic setting.

    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.
