Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
T1 Cedar Following the failure of a large lateral during a severe weather event our client requested that the tree be removed. This request was submitted on the 4th June 2025. This company was advised that request for felling was be refused and so the request was withdrawn. Our client now requires that we request consent for the following crown reduction works in order to stabilise the canopy sections. We therefore request consent to reduce the height by 2m and laterals by approximately 1m. Reason for above work: To bring back into scale and good arboricultural practices.

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.
