Planning application
PA/2026/0594
FLINT COTTAGE, 8 MARBULL WAY, WARFIELD, BRACKNELL, RG42 2PR
Proposal
TPO89 - T1 - 1 x Oak Tree in Council Land at the rear of property - Reduce the two overextended lateral limbs over garden by up to 3 metres to suitable growth points to reduce end-weight and leverage. Reducing length from 6m to 3m. Plus removal of snapped limb. The reasons for the proposed works are: • To reduce excessive end-weight and leverage on the long overextended lateral limbs, thereby lowering the likelihood of branch failure during periods of high wind loading. • To reduce the sail area of the overhanging branches and improve the long-term structural balance of the crown. • To mitigate the risk posed by large branches overhanging an area of regular residential use, including the garden, boundary fence and associated property. • To address the presence of minor dieback within the affected branch structure and reduce mechanical stress on the remaining live growth. • To maintain the tree in a safe and sustainable condition through minimal arboricultural intervention, whilst retaining the tree’s amenity value, overall form and contribution to local landscape character. The proposed works are limited to the outer extremities of the two overextended limbs and are not intended to alter the overall size, appearance or health of the tree beyond improving branch loading and reducing the risk of future limb failure.

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.

19 FOREST END ROAD, SANDHURST, GU47 8JT
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.

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.
