    29 Queen Street, Henley-on-Thames, RG9 1AR

    The Magnolia and Fig are getting too large to fulfil light levels indoors, restricting views of the sky and showing too much shade now. Pruning overall extension growth will cause vigorous regrowth and deepen the problem. The garden has a delicate sophisticated natural plant architecture feel. The pruning needs to be aligned to this successful visual. T1 - Magnolia Front Garden: Thin canopy by 10% to increase dappled light. Lift canopy targeting subbranches for a natural look. Reduce back selected laterals obscuring windows of house. T2 - Flowering plum: reduce height by 0.5m. T3 - Fig. Back Garden: Too dense and now taking too much light from seating and garden areas close to the house again. Thin by 10%, look to form but reduce areas where too much growth dominates.

    T1 - Birch G2 - Leylandii x 5 A small urgan garden with 5 large Leylandii and one Silver Birch beside the house within the side access. The 5 x Leylandii have huge growth potential left and are not particularly suitable for this location. Complete removal has been discussed with a view to replant in the future. The Silver Birch, whilst a more suitable urban tree, is in a poor location which will in time cause issues with neighbouring wall and retaining wall to lower part of the house. Specification: Silver Birch: provide qualified team to carefully dismantle tree in sections removing all waste from site. Leylandii: provide qualified time to carefully dismantle these trees in section utilising modern rigging techniques. All waste to be removed from site and resultant stumps to be ground out to a depth of approx 300 mm below ground level. Remarks:

    A1 - Himalayan Birch A2 - Purple Plum A1 - Himalayan Birch - reduce tree on neighbour's side (No.23) by pruning sub-lateral limbs back to suitable growth points because neighbours requested a reduction in overhang. A2 - Purple Plum - crown reduction by 5% of leaf area (approx 1m of branch length) to promote natural crown shape (see BS3998). The work is for maintenance and to reduce the impact of the crown on our neighbours (No.23). We have sought advice from a professional tree surgery service (Arboricultural Association registered). The remaining trees identified on the sketch plan (attached) were also assessed but these do not require maintenance work at present (A3-A5 no work proposed). All work will be carried out by these specialists in accordance with recommended British Standards and guidelines BS3998-2010 and European Tree Pruning Guide or best practice. Remarks:

    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.
