26 PARKWAY, CROWTHORNE, RG45 6EN

Awaiting decision Bracknell Forest PA/2026/0752 Consent under Tree Preservation Orders

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

T1 – Silver Birch – approximately 15m in height with a crown spread of 5m. Reduce the height of the crown by up to 6m, leaving a final height of approximately 9m, pruning back to suitable growth points where appropriate. Reason for the proposed works: The tree is in decline and the proposed reduction is intended to retain the tree for as long as reasonably practicable whilst reducing the likelihood of branch failure. This level of reduction would not normally be recommended for a healthy silver birch but is considered appropriate in view of the tree's current condition and the objective of prolonging its safe retention. T2 – Silver Birch – approximately 9m in height with a crown spread of 5m. Reduce the height of the crown by up to 2m, or back to the cavity if this is considered necessary following climbing inspection, pruning back to suitable growth points where practicable. Reason for the proposed works: The tree contains a cavity at approximately 6m above ground level. The proposed reduction is intended to continue the management of the tree, allowing its retention whilst maintaining the level of risk as low as reasonably practicable. The final extent of pruning will be determined following closer inspection of the cavity during the climbing operation.

    T16 - Mature Walnut Tree - Crown lift mature walnut to approximately 3m above ground level by the selective removal of lower branches to improve pedestrian clearance, access and maintenance beneath the crown and provide appropriate clearance from the adjacent garden structure. Retain the natural form and overall character of the tree. Description and reason for works: The mature walnut tree is proposed to be crown lifted to approximately 3 metres above ground level , by the selective removal and shortening of lower branches where appropriate. The lower crown currently extends down into the garden area and across the pedestrian access route, creating restricted clearance beneath the tree and interfering with the practical use and maintenance of the area. The low branches also extend towards and over the adjacent garden structure and restrict access around the building. The proposed crown lifting is intended to provide improved headroom and pedestrian clearance , allowing the area beneath and around the tree to be used and maintained safely and effectively. It will also provide suitable clearance from the adjacent garden building whilst reducing the likelihood of lower branches being damaged through regular pedestrian activity and maintenance operations. The works will be undertaken selectively, removing only those lower branches necessary to achieve an approximately 3-metre crown clearance . The natural form, structural framework and overall appearance of the walnut will be retained, with no unnecessary removal of healthy upper-canopy growth. All pruning will be carried out in accordance with good arboricultural practice, with pruning cuts made at suitable branch unions and positioned to minimise unnecessary wounding. The intention is to retain the mature walnut as an important landscape and amenity tree whilst improving clearance and access beneath its crown . G2 - 1 x Silver Birch - Remove major deadwood
