  5. Decision MadeP24/S0404/TCA

    T1 - Ash - tree is a lapsed pollard to reduce by approximately 4-5m in height and 5-6m in spread, leaving a finish height of 13-15m and a spread of 12-14m. This will create a balanced and flowing crown outline in scale with its surroundings. (This tree was substantially restructured approx 20 years ago and has developed significant etiolated regeneration growth from historic cut points).

    Peckwater, High Street, North Moreton, Oxon, OX11 9AT

    Received 5 Feb 2024
  6. Decision MadeP24/S0292/TCA

    Lime tree in car park and footpath side of Hobbs of Henley. T1 - Lime tree in car park has no indication of disease or threat to the public but is causing significant damage to the road surface due to roots lifting the tarmac which is getting worse over time. Part of the car park tarmac has lifted which has caused a potential trip hazard as one of the tenants previously renting had found out the hard way. Method: fell/remove tree, stump grind stump and re-plant tree in different spot. Road work and repair to car park to be carried out afterwards, without the risk of damaging the tree roots until the tree has been removed. T2 - Lime tree in flower border (leaning towards public footpath). The tree leaning towards the footpath is showing signs of core decay yet with healthy signs of healing around decay hole. The tree also holds fungal disease which is not a good sign as this will lead to root rot whilst leaning towards the footpath. The tree is also causing damage to the tarmac which is an on-going problem for the business owner. My suggestion to the applicant and method; remove/fell the tree to ground level, stump grind stump, replant tree in different location and carry out tarmac repair after, so not to cause damage to the roots as the tree is leaning and could cause the tree to free fall and cause danger of death worst case scenario.

  9. Decision MadeP24/S2795/TPO

    hedge between 16 and 18 Rotherfield Road, RG9 1NN (technically it is on no. 18's side of the fence in the hedge). It has now reached a height of 25-30m that poses a risk to the lives of the occupants of both houses, particularly no. 16, and to the structure of those houses. It has a diameter of 60cm at 1.5m above ground level. It stands just 8m to the west of no. 16. The tree in question is a sycamore and is covered by TPO 72H72/A1. Works requested This application is to reduce its height by at least 50% and ideally the trunk to just 10m high Reason for Work A tree surgeon took a brief look at the tree 2-3 years ago and thought it was healthy. Nonetheless, the tree still poses an unacceptable risk to us. I quote from the Forestry Commission Hazard assessment document which gives guidelines in assessing risk from trees. 1. 'No tree is entirely safe, given the possibility that an exceptionally strong wind could damage or uproot even a mechanically 'perfect' specimen.' 2. in assessing the risk, two factors come into play. First, 'The value of whatever is judged to be at risk'. Here, I assess the value as being infinite! It is my wife's and my lives that are at risk. If we were lucky enough not to be in, if and when the tree falls, our house would be severely damaged and it has a rebuilding cost of >£1m. 3. Second, 'The probability of failure, based on the type, position and severity of the defect concerned'. Whilst I believe that the tree is healthy (we haven't asked an aborculturist) we do live near the top of a hill. The tree lies due west of our house (ie from the direction of most storms) and the top of the tree is very exposed above the nearby houses.

    T1 Silver Birch, Fell This tree is close to the house and is causing a lack of light, that along with the drop of seeds that are making their way throughout the house has made it desirable to fell this tree and replace it with possibly a liquid Amber in a better position. Mrs Piasecki also believes that a Liquid Amber with its red colours during autumn would be of a better amenity value.
