Tree Tops, Harpsden Way, Henley-On-Thames, RG9 1NS

P20/S2585/TPOWorks to TPOApproved

Approved on 25 September 2020

Council decision: Cons. TPO amd. spec.

Approximate location: the centre of the postcode, not the exact property.

Proposal

4 x Douglas Fir (G1) - Crown lift to give approx 6m clearance from ground level - Crown reduction for over extended / heavily end weighted limbs by up to 2.5m Reason: To improve shape of canopy by giving more balanced overall shape, to avoid tree(s) becoming unbalanced by one large over extended limb, to improve light into property and allow us to park our car. One of the trees is 1.75m from ground level making it difficult to park and access boot. There is a 80cm height difference from base of the furthest tree to parking level (see photo). Cedar (T1) - Crown lift to approx 6m clearance from ground level - Removal of storm damaged limbs in canopy Reason: To make garden more accessible, safer and remove storm damaged limbs to prevent future accidents. The tree is currently 1.55m from ground level making it difficult for adults to walk underneath and preventing grass and other plants growing. The low branches also make this area of the garden very dark and a security concern.
