Planning application
Checkendon Court, Checkendon, RG8 0SR
Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
1x Lime, ancient. potentially the signature tree of Checkendon Court. The tree is displaying significant retrenchment in the south east which is a result compromised vascular function. This would appear to be caused by abrasions, cambium damage and scaring. Possibly the result of lighting damage. The exposed cambium and its incipient degradation also will potentially cause some structural issues (much like the Lawson cypress as the damage see photo is and an important compression /tension point of the trees supporting stems above. A. Carry out retrenchment pruning reducing entire canopy by 2.5 m pruning to secondary growth. Remove major deadwood unless the retention /stabilisation is desired for ecology. This will help the overall weakened structure (note large habitat holes) as there is some vulnerability to breakages and crown breakage issues.

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.
