Proposal

Works to various trees as specified by Thames Valley Tree Care Ltd in the Headington Hill Conservation area. T1 Red Oak - thinning will be carried out evenly across the full extent of the crown rather than concentrating on the inner canopy. The volume of leaf-bearing shoots and secondary branches removed must not exceed 30% of the total canopy. T2 Beech - It is recommended that the crown of T2 (Beech) be raised to achieve a final clearance height of 5.0 m above ground level. G1 - Silver Birch - It is recommended to be pruned back to the vicinity of the boundary to maximise light levels within the adjacent garden and ensure adequate clearance from the neighbouring property.
