Planning application
PA/2026/0658
94 NEW ROAD, ASCOT, SL5 8QQ
Proposal
T1 - 1 x Pine Tree at front - Reduce overall crown by reducing overhanging lateral limbs by up to 2m, crown lift to provide a clearance of 5.5m over the carriageway and 3m above the adjacent footpath and remove major deadwood Reason The tree has developed a broad, spreading crown which extends over the public highway, footpath and neighbouring properties. The proposed crown reduction of up to 2 metres is intended to contain the crown within its available space, reduce end-weight on extended lateral limbs, improve resilience to storm damage and lessen the likelihood of branch failure. Crown lifting is proposed to provide appropriate highway and pedestrian clearances in accordance with accepted arboricultural and highway safety standards, ensuring unobstructed access for vehicles and pedestrians while maintaining the tree’s amenity value.

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.
