Decided West Berkshire 26/01801/TPW

Works: Trees

Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.

Proposal

T1 - Sycamore: Sympathetically reduce canopy to a finished height of 14m and lateral branches by 1m. (Crown suppressed to S so no need for lateral reduction to S quadrant). Bring lowest branches over gate into main crown by 1-2m tip reductions. T2 - Maple: Crown reduction of 2.5 to 3m height & lateral reduction of 1.5 to 2m. T3 - Yew: Sympathetically reduce lateral branches by 1m. Bring over-extended lateral over path back into main crown. G1 - 3x Yew: Lateral reduction of 1.5- 2m on the house side and 1-1.5m towards the neighbours would be sensible, blending to the sides. T4 - Maple: Lateral reduction of asymmetrical crown by 1-1.5m on southern quadrant towards neighbours, blending in at the sides. Thin out epicormic sprouting from previous cut points by 75% to begin to reestablish natural branch structure. Investigate previous cut points for decay. T5 - Beech: Lateral reduction of asymmetrical crown by 1-1.5m on northern quadrant, blending in at the sides. T6 - Beech: Sympathetically reduce canopy by 2.5-3.0m height to a finished height of 19.0-19.5m and lateral branches by ~1.5m. Remove deadwood over 25mm diameter from all trees, as required.

    T1 Lime. Slightly asymmetrical form due to a neighbouring tree, there is some merit here in carrying out crown management due to location. a. Reduce lateral spread, particularly to the Northern aspect targeting over extended laterals by up to 3.0m back to suitable growth points, tapering into height. The 3m maximum length will be to laterals that extend beyond general crown outline only. b. Lift crown to 5.0m targeting secondary growth points only.
