Planning application
PA/2026/0705
22B THE ELMS, WARFIELD PARK, BRACKNELL, RG42 3RP
Proposal
T1 - Turkey Oak • Reduce lateral spread of northwest quadrant of tree canopy by 1.5- 2m (from 5.5m to 3.5-4m) over garden to reduce overhang of low branches into garden of 22B The Elms. • Remove deadwood from tree canopy. Reason: Minor works to cut back overhang over the garden to ensure a safe play area for disabled resident child. This is minor work to a small tree growing at the rear of the property. The works will not be visible from a public viewpoint, and the amenity of the wider woodland area will not be undermined. T2 - Turkey Oak • Reduce regrowth / tips of cut side stem by 3-3-5m back to previous reduction points • Reduce lower branches by 1.5-2m back to boundary line. Reason: Poor form. Works are requested to reduce risk of branch failure of regrowth from previously cut branch and to raise the crown to create reasonable clearance over sheds and outbuildings.

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.
