Planning application
PA/2026/0702
36, The Broadway, Sandhurst , GU47 9AB
Proposal
T1 Silver Birch: Located on the left of the driveway entrance. Scope of Works The tree is becoming over-mature for its location and is currently restricting ingress/egress for the driveway. T1 is exhibiting signs of decline, with a significant portion of the upper crown dying back. Furthermore, the mid-crown has grown through the overhead utility services. Any significant reduction required to provide clearance for these services would render the tree unsustainable. Given this, combined with its current condition and location, I recommend the removal of the tree to near ground level.

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.
