Planning application
The Barn House, 46 Lower Icknield Way, Chinnor, OX39 4EB
Works: Trees
Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.
Proposal
G1 Pines x 8 Fell to retain pecking post @ 1 metres from ground level 2 of the group are smaller suppressed trees, several trees lean towards the neighbouring property which is within 5 m from G2. 3 trees lean heavily over the neighbouring property, one of them being twin stemmed which heavily hangs directly over the adjacent property. G2 used to have a thick protection of dense overgrown shrubs and smaller trees to the west of G2 softening the mechanical wind loading to the pines of G2, since this protective barrier of trees and shrubs has been removed G2 will be exposed to new wind dynamics. The prevailing wind comes from the south west which blows off the field directly into the garden and directly at G2. The garden is a big open space providing no barrier from the prevailing wind. Considering the extremely close proximity of the adjacent property (within 5 m), the lean direction of the the trees over the property, the size of the trees and the new wind dynamics client is requesting trees be felled.

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.
