FLINT COTTAGE, 8 MARBULL WAY, WARFIELD, BRACKNELL, RG42 2PR

Awaiting decision Bracknell Forest PA/2026/0594 Consent under Tree Preservation Orders

Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

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.

    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.
