Planning application
6 Marlow Road, Henley-on-Thames, RG9 2JB
Works: Trees
Withdrawn before a decision, so it carries no planning weight. A revised scheme can be submitted at any time.
Proposal
Pic 1 & 2 - These trees need to be cut back due to overhanging the drive, the highway, and neighbouring properties. Pic 3 & 4 - The lower limbs of the silver birch have been pruned back as damaged by the high-sided delivery vehicle. We recommend that this tree be removed as it has overgrown its current location and a replacement tree be planted in a more suitable location. Pic 7, 8, 9, 11, 12 & 13 - Removal of the large mature Home oak tree due to its size, location and condition. The tree is showing signs of stress, including weak attachments, inclusive bark and several cavities. There are also several overextended limbs which are applying extra pressure on weak unions. We recommend that this tree be removed as it has overgrown the current location and a replacement tree be planted in a more suitable location. Pic 5, 6 & 10 - We would recommend reducing or removing T1 and T3 as they have both been suppressed by the mature Home Oak. This would allow us to replant trees of suitable size and species to suit the location. If not removed, at a minimum, these trees need to be reduced and balanced to help the crown and future growth.

P26/S0185/TCA Decided
6 Marlow Road, Henley-on-Thames, RG9 2JB
Rear garden (T2) Holm oak - this is a significant landscape feature, and although there is some decay near the base of the stem (next to the wall), the tree could be retained and the following crown reduction pruning undertaken. This would help to lessen the crown weight as well as loading on crown forks and tree base. Suggested works - Crown reduce by approx. 2-2.5m. To avoid altering the balance of the tree as a whole, the crowns of the tree should be reduced in proportion to their original shape. (T1) Gleditsia - Reduce height by approx. 1.5m and balance remaining crown by reducing lateral crown to the west by 1.5-2m. (T3) Box elder - Reduce height by approx. 1.5m and balance remaining crown by reducing lateral crown growing towards the house by approx. 2m. Remove first lateral branch growing towards the wall back to the main stem. Front garden Yew (located in neighbouring garden to the north) - reduce back crown over driveway (6 Marlow Road) by 1-1.5m, crown lift (over driveway) any remaining branches to provide a clearance of 4m. Birch - remove tree (and plant replacement) Whitebeam (located in neighbouring garden to the north) - reduce back crown over driveway (6 Marlow Road) by 1.5m, crown lift (over driveway) any remaining branches to provide a clearance of 4m. Reduce crown back from public highway by approx. 1.5m, cut back from signage and lift crown over footpath to create 3m clearance.

Broome House, Marlow Road, Henley-on-Thames, RG9 2JB
T1 Silver Birch, Fell This tree is close to the house and is causing a lack of light, that along with the drop of seeds that are making their way throughout the house has made it desirable to fell this tree and replace it with possibly a liquid Amber in a better position. Mrs Piasecki also believes that a Liquid Amber with its red colours during autumn would be of a better amenity value.

T1 - Holm Oak T2 - Acer A Holm Oak and an Acer are situated on the applicant's property. Residents of the adjacent property, Temple House, Phyllis Court Drive, have pointed out that a branch of the Oak overhangs the boundary and is encroaching the building of Temple House. The applicant and the tree surgeon Mr Roderick Baird have inspected the site and found that several branches of the Oak, and some branches of the Acer, have grown close to Temple House. The proposed work is therefore to reduce overhangs from both trees at suitable growth points to a distance approximately three metres the Temple House side of the boundary wall with the applicant's property.

T2 - Tulip Tree - Reduce by approximately 3 metres to restore balance within the crown due to previous limb failure leaving the tree unbalanced. T3 - Horse Chestnut - Reduce by approximately 3 to 4 metres, leaving a natural flowing crown outline and remove major deadwood. T4 - To fell and remove 1 x Yew tree and install eco plugs to prevent re-growth.

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.
