  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.

• 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.
