Flat A 26 Craven Road Newbury RG14 5NE

Apple tree: This is old and in poor condition - if it fell there would be considerable damage to adjacent properties. It dominates the tiny garden, and we wish to remove it to allow more light into the garden, so we can grow a wider range of plants. We will arrange to have it felled by an arborist once permission is granted.

Yew Tree House Speen Lane Speen Newbury RG14 1RJ

T1 - T6: Yew Trees: Removal of trees located within five metres of the external walls of the property. The trees have grown too large for their location, being planted close together and within 5 m of the house and garage. They significantly reduce light into the property and garden, while branches quite often break off and fall, creating a safety concern. Their proximity also raises potential risk of subsidence, and their size makes ongoing maintenance impractical. To mitigate their removal, I propose to replant more suitable species, such as Amelanchier, Rowan, Crab Apple, Tibetan Cherry, and possibly Silver Birch, in positions further from the property to preserve the character of the conservation area.

5 Evans Way Compton Newbury RG20 6PD

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.
