Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1269 - Holm Oak - crown reduction 30% and deadwood removal. The tree has a severe fungi infection, Ganoderma Australe, which has caused white rot as well as a thinning brown canopy, trunk discolouration and deadwood throughout. A reduction to help prevent further damage from wind or the heavyweight the tree may no longer be able to support. Weakening causes through the fungi infection. T1271 - complete removal. Tree is severely rotten and dead. Rot cavity holes into the tree, at the base of the trunk and half way up. Dead branches all the way up tree. Tree needs to be completely removed as soon as possible.

P18/S4867/TPO Granted
Cuddesdon House, Cuddesson
G7 - 3 Holly, Photo 1 (H1-3 on plan). Reduce height by 12'-15'. Reasons: Primary: safety trees are roadside, one stem has fallen into road recently, (photo 2) so reducing to increase stability. Secondary: Increase light into garden area, and to encourage lower growth to thicken up screen. Additional planting recommended. Holm Oak (H02 on plan). Remove broken branch (photo 3) and prune growth back on garden side to regain shape and to encourage lower growth to thicken screen. Holm Oak (H01 on plan, photo 4). Reduce back stems over road. Holm Oak (T3) sustained snow damage (photo 5) inspect wound damage and clean up to minimise possibility of further damage if necessary.

3284 - Laurel - Reduce large stem to 0.6m from ground level to stimulate regeneration from the base. 3285 - Holm Oak - Coppice 0.6m retaining the smaller diameter shoots 3286 - Holly - 3 Suppressed hollies - fell 3287 - Sycamore - supressed, fell to give Birch room to grow 3288 - Robina - Poor vigour and in decline - fell 3290 - Laurel - single laurel with one dead stump, coppice to encourage regrowth from the base. 3291 - Laurel - group of 6, coppice to encourage regrowth from the base 3292 - Magnolia - Small and supressed - fell 3293 - Holm Oak - A secondary limb which is extended towards the neighbouring property has a cavity which was caused by the loss of a major limb. Reduce the end weight of this limb by 25% 3294 - Sycamore - Ivy covered with poor form, regrowth from previously felled stump - fell 3295 - Layrel - Group of 5, coppice at 0.6m 3296 - Leylandii - Snapped main leader, remove hangers and reduce and reshape the upper canopy to reduce the likelyhood of further collapse. 3297 - Leylandii - Snapped main leader, reduce by 5-6m to small secondary branches to ensure the remaining stem does not fail. 3298 - Sycamore - Squirrell damaged, remove two hanging branches and remove the broken nubs. 3299 - Norway Maple - Large cavity at the base with pytophora affecting one significant buttress root, leaning heavily towards the neighbouring property, crown reduce the most extended branches and upper canopy by 2m and crown thin by 40%. 3300 - Holm Oak - Large cavity in betweem the two main stems comprising the main union, install one 4 ton non invasive cobra to reduce the risk of collapse. 3301 - Atlantic Cedar - Main leader snapped leaving significant cavity - fell and replant as long term retention is unlikely. 3302 - Beech - Mature specimen with cavity on main scaffold brach resulting from loss of secondary branch, whin out small diameter branches from the damaged limb by 30% 3303 - Sycamore - Coppice to 0.6m to produce a thicker screen 3304 - Purple Plum - Formative pruning required to remove an included stem and reshape as required. 3305 - Cercis - Install x 2 2ton non invasive cobra braces 1.2m above existing brace. 3306 - Sycamore - poor form with included unions growing against a small retaining wall. Fell 3307 - Sycamore - Growing against a small wall - fell 3308 - London Plane - Reduce included branch by 2ms to reduce risk of failure. 3309 - Hawthorn - Several clumps of hawthorn which have been previously reduced by 1.5m, reduce to previous pruning points to encourage thickening at the base of the hedge. 3310 - Laurel Hedge - previously reduced back from roadside, resulting regrowth from the base will be retained whilst larger stems will be coppiced to 0.6m to encourage further thickening. 3311 - Birch - Small with form and die back leaning heavily. 3312 - Lime - Poor form, prune clear of adjacent lime by removing several small branches. 3313 - Lime - Crown raise to 2.5m and remove 2 competing secondary leaders. 3314 - Highways - Provide statutory 5.2m clearance from highway edge. 3315 - Layrel - Bank of laurel adj to drive coppice the laurel to 0.6m to encouage regrowth from the base 3316 - Holly - remove 3 small stems to allow light to reach the Yew within the bank.

P26/S4235/TCA Decided
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.

P26/S4236/TPO Granted
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.
