Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.

Proposal

09S156(G1) Weeping Willow Tree We wish to apply to fell the Willow because of concerns regarding the safety of leaf litter, bird mess, trip hazards and maintaining the tree in a safe condition. There is a fracture in the main stem and a Tree Officer in his Pre-application Management Advice for Works to Protected Trees, noted that "the tree was in moderate structural condition and had several defects which limit its life expectancy and require continuous inspection and pruning to ensure the tree remains in a safe condition within the setting of a children's play area". The TPO was placed on the tree before the site was fenced in and is now separated from the other 15 Pine trees in the same TPO. We would follow all of the Tree Officers advice and would remove the stump and prepare the ground with topsoil to improve soil conditions and forking to relieve compaction. We would like to plant a replacement Tilia Mongolica (Mongolian Lime) of a Standard size 8-10cmg as close as reasonably practicable to the tree removed. We would stake and guard the tree with a small picket fence within 1m of the stem with a 75mm layer of mulch applied. We would arrange for the tree removal and replacement planting to be carried out in a single operation by a contractor sourced from the Arboricultural Association website.

  • 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.
