Proposal
Specifications provided by recent H&S survey of site by Heritage Tree Services. G1 - mixed group on Northern boundary of site, adjoining footpath. Lift lowest branches to provide statutory clearance of approximately 2.5m over footpath (this is carried out on an annual basis and as such there are little to no substantial limbs requiring pruning.) Remove significant sized deadwood within striking distance of footpath. T1 (within G1) - Small self set Oak to remove to ground level - understory tree which has pronounced incline over footpath and little long term value. T2 - Oak within G1 - low branches overhanging adjacent all weather pitch and light, prune these low branches to provide approximately 2m clearance from light and fence.

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.
