Cleeve Firs, Cleeve Road, Goring, RG8 9BJ
Approved on 12 February 2026
Council decision: No obj CA works
Proposal
Tree 1. Laurel tree. We want to remove this tree. The tree is out of character with the area and the garden and it threatens the dividing wall between us and our neighbour. Tree 2 Yew tree. We want to reduce the size of this tree from 6 metre canopy diameter to 3 metre canopy diameter. This tree overly dominates the garden and the greenhouse and the veg plot, making the whole area very dark. Treework 3 Sketch. This shows the layout of the garden (between the Ridgeway Footpath and the River Thames). Tree 1 and Tree 2 are clearly marked.
