Planning application
26 Vicarage Road Henley-on-thames RG9 1HJ
Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
T1 and T2 Oak tree - Remove to ground level. T3 Hazel coppice - Coppice to ground level. T4 Prunus - no works. T5 Birch tree - remove to ground level. T6 Holly - Remove to ground level. T7 Acer - No works. T8 Apple - No works. T9 Birch - Remove to ground level. The previous owner of the property planted a large number of trees in a relatively small garden. The current owner and applicant wishes to remove the Oak trees as they have been planted in very close proximity to the boundary and they have poor form due to the small spacing between the trees. They would like to remove the Holly and 2 of the Birch to give more space to the neighbouring trees and provide a view up the garden of the Acer.

28 Vicarage Road Henley-on-thames RG9 1HJ
T1: Birch: Twin stemmed Birch with a crown break a couple of feet above ground level. This tree has had cobra bracing installed and has previously had a crown reduction undertaken due to the applicants concerns over its safety with its close proximity to their own and neighbouring properties and the high volume of pedestrians who walk past the house particularly during the school pick up and drop off timings. The applicant wishes to reduce the height of the tree by 4 metres, to a point just above the previous pruning points and the lateral branches by up to 1 metre. T2, T3 and T4: Birch: Applicant wishes to carry out a 2m crown reduction of all 3 trees. These trees were planted by the applicant on the basis that they would be maintained as small trees owing to the size of space in this area of the garden and the proximity of buildings.

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.
