Planning application
8 Green Hitchings, Great Milton, OX44 7NZ
Works: Trees
Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.
Proposal
T1 Walnut At client request: Observations: T1 is a mature, large walnut tree. Client has advised that the root system is lifting the driveway, making access to the garage difficult and unusable. (See photos). SBTS are aware that there was planning permission received in 1996 (P96/NO168) in regards to the erection of the double garage and that it was stipulated that this was not to interfere with the tree. Recommendations: At client request - fell to ground level.

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.
