   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 18 September 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   Bristol, City of took a median of 55 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with Bristol, City of 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.

Householder applications cover work to an existing house and its garden: extensions, loft and garage conversions, porches, outbuildings and similar alterations within the boundary of the home. They cannot be used to create a separate dwelling or change what the building is used for. Councils aim to decide them within eight weeks, and immediate neighbours are usually notified and given a chance to comment.

  T1 - Beech tree - The tree currently has an acceptable level of risk associated with it as no failure associated characteristics were identified during the assessment. That being said it is recommended that the tree is crown reduced. As the tree has been previously reduced a re- reduction by no more than to the previous pruning points by drop crotch reduction is recommended. This would involve reducing the crown height and spread by 2-3 m by removing branches no larger than 100-120mm diameter to suitably sized growth points. This would help reduce chances of branch failure without causing excessive losses in photosynthetic material. In particular bringing down the ?shoulders? ( just out from centre top of tree) which would reduce lever forces on primary limbs by the greatest amount in this particular instance.
