  T1 Monterey Pine - Fell to ground level. T3 Beech - Fell to ground level. T4 Norway Spruce - Fell to ground level. Reason for works: T1 - This tree has become unsuitable for its current location. It has been planted within 0.5 metres of the road and directly below multiple utility cables. Due to these constraints, and the increased risk of potential damage to people or property caused by large cones falling into the road, the tree's long-term potential is limited. Removal is therefore considered the only feasible option, as pruning options for this species are limited. T3 - This tree was originally planted as part of the hedge but has been unmanaged and has established into a small tree. It has developed a crown that is dominant on one side due to suppression from the neighbouring Birch tree. Removal will allow the hedge to be managed and maintained as a uniform hedge. T4 - This is a leaning tree that is heavily clad in ivy. The tree is unsuitable for its location and, due to limited pruning options, removal is considered the most appropriate management option. The property owner intends to renovate the garden and has indicated that they plan to plant more suitable trees that would enhance the surrounding environment.

  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.
