Proposal
T1 Cherry Tree (prunus spp) fell to ground OR reduce canopy by up to 2m, maintaining adequate foliage to meet BS3998.

Reduce overextending branches over neighbour's garage by 2m. T3 Cypress spp trim all round, to make as compact as possible whilst ensuring longevity of tree. T4 Yew (taxus bacatta) reduce entire canopy by 1m G1 Laurel (prunus laurocerasus) top highest point on the left by 1m and level out the rest from that point for a level top. T5 Cypress spp reduce tree as much as possible, whilst maintaining growth to ensure tree survival T6 Yew (Taxus bacatta) tree grows from the other side of the fence, reduce back overhanging branches by up to 1m. T7 Yew (Taxus bacatta) reduce tree by 1m. provide a minimum of 1m clearance from the building. T8 Acer spp reduce tree by 1m. Remove stem leaning towards the building.

Approx 2 metres from height and 1.5 metres from the radial spread to ensure good shape and balance without excessive shading to the property and garden.

H3 - Leyland Cypress - remove 6 of the hedge trees and reduce remaining 4 to an even top around 1.5 metres below current height and face up as a small block of hedge. This hedge is just too overbearing on the small garden. T4 - Lawson Cypress - remove 2.5 metres from height to reduce shading to the garden. T5 - Leyland Cypress x 2 - remove both trees as they are too overbearing on a small garden. T6 - Yew - reduce height and spread by around .5 metre to retain as a smaller more compact tree. Remarks:

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.
