G1 Twin Stem Ash x2 - Fell to ground level and grind out stumps. Reasons for works: The two trees originate from old coppice stools which show signs of internal decay. In addition, both trees are displaying signs of reduced crown vitality consistent with Ash Dieback, which is prevalent throughout the surrounding block of woodland. Due to the location of the trees adjacent to the footpath, removal is recommended to mitigate the risk of failure and to allow for the replanting of alternative species within the area.

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.
