P26/S3960/TPO Decided
2 Don Close Didcot OX11 7SB
T1 Oak tree to prune away from house back to previous pruning points. On the south eastern side, removing approximately 1-1.5m of regeneration growth to give a clearance of house by 2-2.5m. Prune away from streetlight and back from road to previous pruning points, removing approximately 1-1.5m of regeneration growth. This would leave a canopy spread to the south-east of 7m and to the south and south west of 9m. Reduce the west and north sides of the canopy by 1.5-2m to balance crown and keep the tree in scale with its surroundings. This would leave a canopy spread to the west and north of approximately 10-11m. There will be no significant works to the height of the tree. Selective branch pruning in the upper canopy following reduction of the side canopy to shorten over extended stems by 1-1.5m to balance the crown.
