Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Four mature Lime trees on the boundaries of Clifton, Croft Road and 1 Holmlea Road Goring. The four trees were given an authorised crown lift by a previous owner more than 10 years ago. Since then there has been a certain amount of epicormic growth where branches were removed. This request is for permission to remove the epicormic growths before they become dominant and excessively shade the gardens of the two houses, therefore negating the value of the earlier crown lift. A similar request was authorised in March 2015 reference 91S18-1936. However it only requested removal of growth up to a height of 4m. In hindsight, this was not sufficient. Hence this request is to remove epicormic growth up to the height of the first branch of each lime i.e. T1 to 6m, T2 to 7m, T3 to 7m, T4 to 8m. In the attached photos you will see small, post 2015 growths below 4m, and older stronger growths above.

The trees T1, T2, T6 and T7 are four Lime Trees planted on the boundary of 1 Holmlea Road. The proposed work is identified by Barrell Tree Consultancy in a report drafted to support planning application P13/S1662/FUL. Please see attached extract. However as I have not yet discharged all pre-commencement conditions, I am using this form to seek authority for this work. Four Lime Trees T1, T2, T6, T7 remove deadweood from canopy (reason - safety) and remove epicormic growth up to 4m above ground level (to avoid shoots becoming dominant and excessively shading the garden). Matt Gulliford visited the site on 27 January 2015 and agreed it makes sense to do this work. G1 The Group comprised of 4 Lime trees Spec: S3 Remove deadwood. Reason: R1 Sound arboricultural management Reason: R2 To ensure future compatibility with site, surroundings and usage Spec: S18 Remove basal or epicormic growth. Reason: R1 Sound arboricultural management Reason: R2 To ensure future compatibility with site, surroundings and usage

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/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.
