  T1 - Over mature Hazel - recoppice to restore vigour. T2 - Ageing Cherry - remove to ground level. T3 - Dying Silver Birch - remove to ground level. TG4 - two small beech stems - planted as part of a hedge/shrub bed around the house. Remove before they get too big and cause direct damage to the house. T5 - Over mature Hazel - recoppice to restore vigour. T6 - Over mature Hazel - recoppice to restore vigour. T7 - Yew - very close to house, oppressive and makes the adjacent rooms very dark. The tree requires repeated pruning to prevent it from damaging the face and gutters of the property. Roots have completely blocked adjacent drain (plastic pipes that were upgraded a few years ago) and soakaway which has now had to be re-routed to avoid the same thing happening again in the future. The tree is twin stemmed and only can only be viewed from limited glimpses from outside the property. The applicants will plant a replacement tree to mitigate for its removal - further away from the house. T8 - Robinia sucker. Remove to ground level (very small - on the cusp of the 75mm diameter when measured at 1.5m above ground level). Over mature shrubs around the garden - around the perimeter and within site - carry out a restoration prune to restore vigour and regenerate growth. Crown clean to remove deadwood from other trees and vegetation within the site.

  T2 Ash - Reduce the height and spread of the tree by up to 1.5 metres, approximately back to the previous pruning points. Reduce the growth extending towards the house and surrounding shrubs by up to 2 metres to provide additional clearance and address the existing crown imbalance. Additionally, crown lift over the garden to provide a minimum clearance of 3 metres above ground level. Ensure a natural, well-balanced crown is retained. Reasons for Works – The tree is located in close proximity to the property and has previously been managed in line with the proposed works. The objective is to maintain the tree at an appropriate size for its location while continuing the established management regime.

  7 Vicarage Road Henley-on-thames RG9 1HF

  There are two trees in the front garden Permission is requested to fell both trees. Tree 1 = Weeping Birch Tree Tree 2 = Maple Tree Weeping Birch (Tree 1) This has become too large for the site, the roots are lifting the paving around it, making it a trip hazard. Roots have also entered the nearby drains, causing problems. Permission is sought to fell the tree, to make safe access to the property and to make space on the driveway for off street parking. (There is a nearby primary school, and parking can be a challenge.) Maple (Tree 2) This tree has also become too big for its location, which is very close to the boundary of No. 5 and No. 7 Vicarage Rd, causing lifting of the paving around it. It is also very close to both houses. Permission is sought to fell this tree.
