    T1 Common Beech - Remove to ground level and treat the stump to prevent regrowth. 1. The tree works are proposed to stop the influence of the tree on the soil below the building foundation level and provide long term stability to 24 Ash Close, Oxfordshire, OX49 5LW. 2. Estimated costs of repair to the building are a minimum of £100,000.00 if the influence of the tree remains and £6,000.00 if the proposed tree works are allowed to proceed. Getting permission will limit these costs. In the event of refusal we, or our clients, will seek to secure compensation for the additional costs incurred through Section 202(e) 3. Should the tree remain the total cost of repairs will be the superstructure repairs & alternative method of repairs (minimum) = £106,000.00 4. It is the expert opinion of both the case engineer and the arborist that the balance of probabilities the supporting information demonstrates the influence of the tree. 5. Note: further monitoring results may be submitted if these become available during the course of the application.

Tree 2 is a cherry tree, the stem diameter 1.5m above the ground is 36cm. It is proposed that the crown of both trees will be lifted to approximately 5m to reduce the shading effect of the tree in the Vicarage garden and the gardens of adjacent properties.
