Proposal
T1 Willow Carry out heavy weight reduction to favour weight distribution away from the public footpath. Retention of some habitat features where possible along riverside corridor. T5 Willow & Sycamore Remove multiple previously pruned stems that grow towards the property to points of previous punning. Approximately 1.2m from ground level. Stems that do not pose a threat to the property will be left. T6 Hawthorn. In contact with x2 BT & x1 sheathed bundled LV cable. Remove to approximately 500cm from ground level. T7 Willow Selective removal of larger lateral regrowth branches that are growing towards the property. The tree has been heavily reduced, as a result some regrowth displays signs of an increased likelihood to failure. T8 Willow Remove failing stem resting in Ash to point of origin. T9 Ash Remove significant deadwood & stabilise x1 dead limb over tributary.

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.
