MISSELTOR, TILEHURST LANE, BINFIELD, BRACKNELL, RG42 5JS

Awaiting decision Bracknell Forest PA/2026/0776 Tree Work Application (TRTPO Application)

Works: Trees Domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

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

Proposal

T9 (Oak) • Crown clean removing dead / dangerous / dysfunctional branches including larger dead branches over highway • Crown lift reducing low pendulous branches on the south side of the crown as required to create up to 3m crown clearance to the front elevation of Misseltor. This work will also have the added benefit of reducing weight of branch beyond weak fork midway. • Reduce low lateral branches on west side of crown only by 1.5-2-5m – from 13.5m to approximately 11m back in line with surrounding canopy to reduce asymmetry of crown and weight of elongated branches and create reasonable clearance to overhead cables. Cuts will be made back to previous reduction points and graded around the canopy to leave a sympathetic and natural-looking canopy shape. Reason: Overall, T9 (Oak) has good vitality and structural condition for its age, although its proximity to adjacent buildings, the highway, multiple underground services and the reported neighbouring subsidence warrant ongoing management and monitoring. Minor works are proposed at this time to raise the canopy in order to create reasonable clearance to Misseltor and overhead utilities and to sensitively reduce the lower canopy overhanging the front driveway of Misseltor with a reduction of selected elongated branches to reduce the overbearing nature of the crown in relation to the dwelling. These are minor works and the general health and wider visual amenity of the tree will not be affected.

    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
