Planning application

2 Don Close Didcot OX11 7SB

Granted South Oxfordshire P26/S3960/TPO Works to TPO

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

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.

    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.
