T13 - Horse Chestnut located next to riverside path within close proximity to river and private river boats. Large mature tree that has suffered recent major stem failure (now cleared away). Tree seems to have reduced vitality and is showing signs of stress with a sparse upper crown. Lower large sub-stems have been heavily reduced in the past with lower than expected growth. Due to the age and predicted life expectancy, I would suggest felling tree to just above ground level. T13 Horse-Chestnut Spec: S15 Fell tree to ground level. Spec: S20 Quercus robur 10-12cm girth (selected standard) Reason: R1 Sound arboricultural management Reason: R3 Limited safe useful life expectancy Reason: R4 To address potential hazard

Mature Sequoia sempevirens - Recent overnight winds had sadly caused a mature Sequoia sempevirens stem to fail at its bifurcation. This showed some inclusion and interestingly, compression of the remaining stem for around 6.0m above this fork. The remaining stem unfortunately will be compromised now and I believe it should be felled to meet duty of care and replanted. T6 Coast Redwood Spec: S15 Fell tree to ground level. Spec: S20 Coastal Redwood 3m height Reason: R1 Sound arboricultural management Reason: R7 Close to building, services, road or public highway

Wellingtonia from G11 of the TPO - lift crown to a height of 4m above ground level by removing all small branches (less than 150mm diameter) back to source. There are one or two limbs that should be retained that are too large to remove, so on these, the branch tips and secondary branches that hang down are to be removed. Reason: to ensure future compatibility with site, surroundings and usage. The apartments in Molyns House are very dark because of the foliage from this tree blocking light. The requested work will hopefully enable more light to filter through to the rooms adjacent. G1 1 Sycamore, 2 Fir Spec: S1 Lift crown to a height of 4m above ground level by removing branches less than 100mm ... 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

1 x Crack Willot (T9) - (early mature) situated in the centre of the Phyllis Court Boat Club storage area - the club is a popular boat club with increasing membership and boats being launched on the famous Henley Regatta Course all year round. Currently a crack willow is situated in the centre of the storage area. Various solutions have been considered, all with no effective mitigation. Subsequently it is proposed, a superior replanting option of three trees would retain tree amenity value in the immediate area and the removal of the crack willow would allow the function of the boat club. Specifically, boats, particularly 8's, need to be manoeuvered and turned around for launching, retreiving or storage. Any point at which two boats are removed at the same timeis problematic. Proposed works and planting: the proposal is to fell this Willow and replant with 3 x replacement Salix alba Chermesina 14-16cm in the immediate season post felling with 5 year aftercare programme replacing any failures or trees with significant defects.
