    PA/2026/0724 Submitted 21 Jul 2026 0m away

    86% historically approved · decision due ~15 Sep

    Following the attached Tree Survey Report, our consultant (Sarah Duckworth) submitted a planning application 25/00224/TRTPO to have this tree felled due to the past presence of Kreutzschmaria deusta. Although the tree currently presents in good physiological condition, with notable adaptive “wound wood” around historic basal wounds, the presence of K. deusta significantly increases the long term risk profile due to its characteristic pattern of concealed decay and sudden failure without clear external symptoms. Given the tree’s height (17m), proximity to surrounding property, and the species’ known susceptibility to structural compromise when colonised by K. deusta, we are requesting a crown reduction to lower sail area, reduce end weight, and mitigate mechanical stress on the stem and root plate. This proposal aims to retain the tree within the landscape while responsibly managing the elevated risk associated with the fungal infection. Requested Works A sympathetic crown reduction of 3 metres overall, targeting: • Reduction of upper crown height by 3m • Lateral spread reduced by approx. 2m • All cuts made to suitable secondary growth points to maintain natural form • No more than 20–25% of the crown volume removed • Deadwood removal throughout the canopy This level of reduction will meaningfully decrease wind loading and leverage on the lower stem - particularly important given the past fungus identified - while preserving the tree’s aesthetic value and ecological contribution. Supporting Rationale • Kreutzschmaria deusta is associated with brittle fracture at the base, often without prior crown symptoms. • Reduction will lower structural stress, significantly reducing the likelihood of unpredictable failure. • The tree shows good vitality, so a light to moderate reduction is appropriate to retain long term canopy health. • The proposed works represent a balanced, minimal impact intervention that prioritises public safety while maintaining the tree’s presence. The requested reduction is a proportionate and responsible management action in light of the past fungal infection and structural risk profile. It will help ensure the continued safe retention of this TPO tree while preserving its amenity value.

    1 SEYMOUR DRIVE, ASCOT, SL5 8FX

    T1 - Norway Maple - Reduce canopy height and lateral spread 3-4m back towards previous reduction points. Cuts will be made back to suitable growth points from which point the tree can be maintained in a reduced pollarded form. Reason: T1 (Norway Maple) is a suppressed tree of poor form and with a stem defect. The overhanging canopy of T1 has a significant impact on the garden of 1 Seymour Drive and breaking branches cause a nuisance to residents. Works are recommended to reduce the canopy to alleviate the nuisance to residents from which point the tree can be managed in a reduced pollarded form. As the tree has no wider visual amenity value from a public viewpoint, the quality and canopy cover of trees within the Brackens Estate and wider Woodland Tree Preservation Order will not be undermined.

    Large dead Scott's Pine that our tree surgeon identified this week and you will see from the attached photos that were it to fall it could endanger pedestrians and vehicles on the Priory Road boundary of Ascot Priory. I therefore request a 5 Day Notice under our TPO 1219 to fell this as soon as possible.
