  T1 Robinia - Fell to ground level. Reasons for works - The tree is located in very close proximity to a garage and greenhouse. This area of the garden has been disused for some years, but the property owner has plans to make the greenhouse a working part of the garden again. The tree has now become unsuitable for its location, as it provides significant shade to the greenhouse below. Due to its location, the options for pruning to provide adequate light below are limited. The property owner has indicated that they are already carrying out replanting in other parts of the garden and are happy to continue doing so to mitigate the loss of the tree. T2 Sycamore - Crown Lift by removing branch tips to provide 4.5 metres clearance above ground level and reduce the low, large limb over the flower bed extending towards the house by up to 2 metres to improve light to the flower bed below.

  T1 - Sycamore T2 - Ash T3 - Robinia T4 - Lime T5 - Horse Chestnut T6 - Group/line of Yews T7 - Lime T8 - Horse Chestnut T9 - Leyland Cypress T10 - Sycamore T11 - Sycamore T12 - Cherry The trees described in this notice are in the garden of Churchview House or overhang this garden from two adjacent gardens. The adjacent properties are: The Old Vicarage, Priest End, Thame OX9 3AB and Lashlake House, Aylesbury Road, Thame, OX9 3AU. The attached sketch plan shows this. All of the trees are easily viewed from the gardens of Churchview House. T1 - Sycamore - Install Cobra cable brace to support weak stem union. T2 - Ash - Reduce the large limb growing toward and over T1 by around 50% to the secondary branch originating at around 5 metres in order to improve form of tree and allow better space for T1. T3 - Robinia - Crown lift to 5 metres and thin by 15-20% to improve form of tree and to allow more light to penetrate to garden area. T4 - Lime - Raise crown to around 6 metres over Churchview House garden and lane including the removal of 3 large basal suckers. To improve form of tree and allow more light to garden. T5 - Horse Chestnut - Crown lift to 6 metres over Churchview garden to improve garden. T6 - Group/line of Yews - Tip reduce the overhang to Churchview garden by around 1 metre and remove the tree that leans across the drainage ditch towards/over Churchview garden to improve light to Churchview. T7 - Lime - Crown lift to 6 metres to improve form of tree and light to Churchview. T8 - Horse Chestnut - Pollard at around 4 metres to create monolith. This tree has very extensive basal decay and a marked lean. It has been previously pollarded but is in poor condition with low vigour. It does however have significant habitat value. T9 - Leyland Cypress - Several trees forming a screen. Height to be reduced to around 5 metres so they continue to provide screening without becoming too dominant. T10 - Sycamore - Crown lift to 6 metres to provide better view across river meadows and more light to Churchview. T11 - Sycamore - Crown lift to 6 metres and reduce mid crown lateral limb extended towards T10 by about 1.5 metres to improve light levels to Churchview. T12 - Cherry - Crown reduce by around 15% to reduce overall height and spread by 0.5-1 metre to improve shape and balance of tree. Remarks:

  T1 & T2 - Horse Chestnut T1 & T2 - Horse Chestnut - remove both trees and replace with 3 x Salix alba var. sericea, large standards. A landscape design scheme has been created that will enhance the amenity of the fields on both sides of the River Thame at this point. The new trees and hedgerow planting will be in clear view from the old roadway and bridge over the river (which is well used by walkers and others). We feel that the Horse Chestnuts are less apprpriate in this floodplain landscape than Willow. They are likely to suffer from the range of foliage diseases and possibly bleeding canker and will be less tolerant to standing in waterlogged ground over winter months than the Willow replacements. Furthermore the Horse Chestnut directly block the view from The Old Vicarage across the river. The new design places the new trees some metres further east and so opens the view form the property. As the new trees and other planting develop there will be a significant gain in terms of amenity and landscape value which will be in plain view from adjacent public right of way. Please refer to the site plan and schedule of works detailing all of the new planting which accompanies this notice. Remarks:

  T1 - Hornbeam T2 - Robinia G3 - Outgrown Beech hedge T4 - Walnut T5 - Silver Birch T1 - Hornbeam - remove lower growth to raise crown to 2m. Reduce crown height and spread by around 1.5m. This work is to maintain better light levels to the borders beneath and around this tree which is becoming out of scale with the front garden and house. T2 - Robinia - remove and treat stump to inhibit growth. Unwanted low quality self set or root sucker from former tree. G3 - Outgrown Beech hedge - coppice all trees to below height of wall to stimulate regeneration from lower on stems in order to establish better quality Beech hedge. New Beech whips to be planted to increase density. T4 - Walnut - remove lower growth to raise crown to around 4.5m. This is to improve light to the new Beech hedge that will be planted inside the boundary wall and below this tree. T5 - Silver Birch - remove tree to create better space for larger adjacent Birch and ornamental Cherry. Remarks:

T3 - Horse Chestnut - Reduce by approximately 3 to 4 metres, leaving a natural flowing crown outline and remove major deadwood.

  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.
