What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with Bracknell Forest for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.

The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.

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.

    T1 (oak) Reduce the canopy back to, or close to, its previous pruning points to create a radial spread of c. 7m and overall height of c. 15m above ground level. Reduce or where applicable remove branches to achieve a 1.5m clearance from overhead services. Reason: To maintain an appropriate size and improve the relationship between the property and the tree - in line with previously approved applications. To prevent interference with overhead services. To increase the suitability of the roof for solar panel installation.

    3 JEROME CORNER, CROWTHORNE, RG45 7JF

    Tree Specification: Beech (TPO 260 T8) Proposed Scope of Works The specimen currently displays good physiological vigour and presents no obvious visual defects. It stands at an approximate height of 15 metres with a radial crown spread of 10 metres. June 2nd 2026, the lowest limb failed approximately 2 metres from the branch union. This failure is attributed to a combination of high ambient temperatures followed by significant rainfall. A second limb failed from the same primary limb on 22nd July 2026 To mitigate the risk of further limb failures, I recommend a crown reduction of up to 2 metres from each branch tip, pruning back to appropriate growth points. This management practice will decrease the leverage and weight applied to each limb, ensuring the tree remains at a scale suitable for its current location and preventing it from becoming over-mature for the site. All resulting waste will be removed and all areas will be left clean and tidy. All works carried out will be in accordance with BS3998
