Decided South Oxfordshire P21/S3783/TCA Works to trees in CA

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Works requested for approval: To 9 x Lime Tree as indicated in orange box on plan and google maps screenshot. Existing trees are all approximately 16m high, with a 6m crown spread radius. Works proposed are: - Crown reduction - 3m reduction, leaving 3m crown - this is in order to allow enjoyment of the 3 property gardens (currently the trees overhang significantly), and reduce danger from branches which currently drop frequently and to tidy up appearance - Crown thinning - 30% thinning requested - in order to allow light down to the gardens below - currently grass does not survive - Tidy / Trim top - as indicated with red circles in photos, there are a couple of very high branches which we would like to remove to tidy up appearance and reduce risk of danger. - these stick out from the top very far - this is minor trimming needed We have spoke to a local arborist / tree surgeon - and would intend on using their services to perform the work. We have also spoken to the land owners who we would get the consent of to perform the works. Email received 14 September 2021 - to add further 5 lime trees in row - same works as above. Amended Specification agreed by email 23/09/2021: G1 - Lime x14 Stage 1 (ideally implemented before spring 2022) - Reduce height and lateral branches on northern side (extending over gardens of 21-24 Little Martins) by up to 2m to suitable pruning points, concentrating efforts on lower and extended branches. - All pruning cuts must be made at branch junctions, leaving sufficient live growth to maintain or enhance crown form. - Remove deadwood. - Sever ivy. Stage 2 (to be implemented once ivy has withered, ideally September 2022) - Remove withered ivy from canopy. - Thin Crown by a maximum of 15% retaining an even density of foliage throughout a well-spaced and balanced branch structure. - All pruning cuts must be made at branch junctions, leaving sufficient live growth to maintain or enhance crown form. - Remove deadwood.

  • 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.
