Awaiting decision West Berkshire 25/01994/TPW Tree Works Under TPO

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

T1 - Oak - Tip lift to 4m. Crown reduce remaining crown by c 1.2- 1.5m except lower crown overhanging neighbours garden on west side of crown that will be by 2 - 2.5m Tree stands within a small rear garden and totally dominates the two gardens. Shading is excessive, physically preventing the full use of the garden to the families within the properties and this is impacting their quality of life. The tree is relatively young in the lifespan of the species and therefore, the negative impact mentioned above, will increase incrementally. The proposed pruning is modest in respect to size of the tree, within BS3998(2010) with exception of proposed lower crown reduction over neighbours garden and the trees vitality should respond positively to such pruning. The benefits of undertaking this work now whilst the tree is at this age and vitality is that it will in all likelyhood continue to thrive, whilst any delay will mean that future tree pruning will ( depending on time passed)require larger pruning wounds whilst tree is older and have potentially less vitality. Going forward, this work would provide a template for a regular cycle of tree pruning ( I suggest every 5 years) so maintaining this tree in the enviroment well into the future, whilst accommodating the requirement for space and light for the residents.
