Planning application
PA/2026/0398
Tree T138 at the entrance to , Palm Hills Estate , London Road , Bracknell , RG12 9TN
Proposal
The tree is identified as T138 in the approved Arboricultural Impact Assessment and Tree Condition Survey produced by ‘Ruskins Tree Consultancy’ in April 2020 ref. 0420-8121 Rev1. The tree a cat C2 oak is shown in the photos contained in the ACD report and is located north of the electricity substation on the access to the residential development of Palm Hills. It is recommended that the tree is removed as soon as possible with sections of deadwood located above the footpath and in proximity to the road. A replacement semi mature tree is proposed in its place. The replacement tree is not proposed in the same location due to the potential of ‘sudden oak death’ affecting the new oak, so instead we have shown a replacement semi mature Lime in the same location.

What withdrawal means
The process from here
The applicant withdrew this application before the council decided it, so it carries no planning weight and no fee refund is automatic. Withdrawal often follows officer feedback that a refusal was likely.
The applicant is free to submit a revised application at any time, and many withdrawn schemes return in amended form, so the site is worth watching if the proposal affected you.
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.
