Planning application
5 Fothergill Place, Thame, OX9 2BP
Works: Trees Small domestic
Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Single Standard Maple Tree. Fell and replace with half-standard maple tree. Age and Height: The tree was planted to replace a Willow in 2011. Now 15 years on, at 10M+ high, it's taller than the house. Position: The tree was planted just 90cm from our boundary wall and 3.5M from the house. We estimate the lateral spread of the roots now to be somewhere between 7.5-15Metres. Potential Damage: Two years ago, we needed to call Thames Water as we had a problem with our water supply. We believe this may have been damaged by tree roots and that we may see further problems to foundations, sewage and water supplies in future.

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.
