Planning application
FLAT 1, 125 YORKTOWN ROAD, SANDHURST, GU47 9BW
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T1. Oak - Positioned at the front entrance of the site on left side of driveway entrance as you are looking from Yorktown Road. The lower section of the canopy is low over the external public footpath. RSL therefore recommends a tip reduction crown lift to approximately 2.5m above the external public footpath, removing up to approximately 1m from tips to provide an adequate and safe clearance gap of approximately 2.5m above the external public footpath, therefore clearing pedestrian head height, which the residents of 125 Yorktown Road have clearly expressed is a liability concern for them. By carrying out the above mentioned work, it will help alleviate and mitigate the health and safety issues the tree currently poses. RSL will carry out all cuts sympathetically, so that the lower canopy is shaped, rather than shape edges. All cuts will be made to BS:3998.

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.
