Flowering Cherry - to be pollarded. 6M high x 5M wide, to be reduced in height by c2M and width reduced in proportion. Currently top heavy - crown too big for base. NOTE: Cherry is quite urgent because it cannot be cut once in flower so hope to do it this year before flowering. Apple - canopy reduction, but mostly width. Reduce by 1M either side. Branches straggling over into neighbours garden & dropping too many unwanted apples.

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.
