Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
TPO number 06S21 Horse chestnut (T2). Crown lifting and thinning by 10% to remove obstruction to stove flue. Also, not covered by a TPO but in a conservation area - request to remove a dead hornbeam in front garden. We lost a silver birch to honey fungus a few years ago and we suspect this has killed the hornbeam as well.

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.
