  T1 - Ash T1 - Ash - located on boundary adjacent to cricket club. Previously pruned and now starting to encroach onto thatch. Some deadwood present throughout crown. As a species ash has the capacity to grow into a large specimen. This tree in particular could potentially cause problems to the house and thatch if allowed to grow to its full potential. Therefore a pruning regime should be implemented to help abate future problems and to keep the tree in harmony with its surroundings. Thin/reduce by 15% by removing up to 1.5 metres of apical and lateral growth. Remove to source lowest limb growing over lawn (approx 4") and adjacent limb (approx 3"). Ensure 2.5 metres clearance from building and thatch. Remarks:

  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.
