Planning application
1 NEVELLE CLOSE, BINFIELD, BRACKNELL, RG42 4AZ
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T8 - 1 x Oak Tree (TPO Tree) at rear - Reduce the overall crown of the oak tree , reducing the existing height from approximately 18 metres to 16 metres and the overall crown spread from approximately 12 metres to 9–10 metres . The reduction is to be carried out sympathetically and selectively throughout the crown , pruning back to suitable growth points and secondary branches whilst maintaining the tree’s natural shape, balanced structure and characteristic form. The reduction is to be graduated throughout the crown, avoiding an artificially rounded or heavily reduced appearance. Care will be taken to retain the main structural framework and natural crown architecture, with no unnecessary or indiscriminate removal of live growth

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.
