Planning application
Whitehill Reades Lane Sonning Common Reading RG4 9LL
Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
TPO Order Number 9/2001 T1 & T2 T1 = Oak T2 = Beech The work required would be crown lifting to a height of approximately 5 metres on the side of the trees that affect Whitehill. The branches that come down low and are dangerous begin at the height of 5 metres so we would need to crown lift to that height to ensure safety. The branches that are on the side of the tree that go into the adjacent boundary would not need to be crown lifted, unless you would like / require that side of the trees to also be done so the trees have a uniform look.

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.
