4 OXFORDSHIRE PLACE, WARFIELD, BRACKNELL, RG42 3QA
Proposal
There are 2 Oak trees in my garden under TPO. Permission has been granted in the past to have a crown reduction. Neil Barton Bracknell Forest, has been to the property in the past and has said the trees are 70-80 years old and as they are in a small residential garden near to properties, they will need regular maintenance pruning for the tree health (every 4-5 years) and for us as a family to enjoy our garden. One is closer to the property than the other. It was recommended to have crown reduction of at least 1 metre of each tree, this has been done in the past and improved the light to my property and that of my neighbours in 2013, and in 2021. The trees have grown since the last prune back to the height and width of the last pruning, the trees are approx 17m high. We are requesting permision to allow a crown reduction of 1 - 1.5 metre on both T1 and T2, this work is undertaken by registered tree surgeons, usually Tree Solutions.

What a grant of permission means
The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
