Decided South Oxfordshire P26/S1231/TCA Works to trees in CA

Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.

Proposal

T1 - Gleditsia to fell - tree has pronounced lean towards/over adjacent seating area and large Ganoderma brackets at base (relative to size of trunk) - no long term future. T2 - Silver Birch next to Rose garden to fell - area has been overplanted, removal of this Birch will provide adjacent Birch, Magnolia and Acer space to flourish. T3 - Self set Holly on roadside to fell - low visual amenity, proximity to boundary wall will cause structural problems in the 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.
