Planning application
16 Hugh Fraser Drive Tilehurst Reading RG31 4QZ
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1 - Oak: Reduce lower crown to clear overhang from garden as much as possible. Remove deadwood. The height of the tree will not alter, and will remain at around 14m. The lower crown will be reduced in length by up to 2-3m, to good growth points on the north side of the tree, this will still leave around 5m of growth at the furthest point, which will make the tree more symmetrical in relation to the south side over the golf course. T2 - Smaller Oak immediately east of T1; 1-1.5m tip reduction of the lions tail limb overhanging mobile home.
