Planning application
3 JEROME CORNER, CROWTHORNE, RG45 7JF
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Tree Specification: Beech (TPO 260 T8) Proposed Scope of Works The specimen currently displays good physiological vigour and presents no obvious visual defects. It stands at an approximate height of 15 metres with a radial crown spread of 10 metres. June 2nd 2026, the lowest limb failed approximately 2 metres from the branch union. This failure is attributed to a combination of high ambient temperatures followed by significant rainfall. A second limb failed from the same primary limb on 22nd July 2026 To mitigate the risk of further limb failures, I recommend a crown reduction of up to 2 metres from each branch tip, pruning back to appropriate growth points. This management practice will decrease the leverage and weight applied to each limb, ensuring the tree remains at a scale suitable for its current location and preventing it from becoming over-mature for the site. All resulting waste will be removed and all areas will be left clean and tidy. All works carried out will be in accordance with BS3998

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.

ASCOT PRIORY, PRIORY ROAD, ASCOT, SL5 8RT
Large dead Scott's Pine that our tree surgeon identified this week and you will see from the attached photos that were it to fall it could endanger pedestrians and vehicles on the Priory Road boundary of Ascot Priory. I therefore request a 5 Day Notice under our TPO 1219 to fell this as soon as possible.
