Planning application
20211507
Burford 25 The Avenue Wroxham Norwich NR12 8TR
Proposal
Douglas Fir T1 This tree now sits and 18-20 metres and is only 5 metres from my house. It drops large quantities of cones and needles and hangs over the neighbours driveway and my house roof. I do not want to complete any major works but purely want to cut back the lower branches away from my property. Excessive shading causes my lawn not to grow and continually drops needles and cones to my patio area and fishpond, my neighbours continually complain to me about the amount of debris falling into their garden. Leylandii T2 This Leylandii is now at 9-10 metres tall and is a lovely shape. The lower branches are starting to drop onto the garden and are dying towards the trunk. Again I do not want to carry out any major works but purely cut back the lower branches to entice light onto the garden and planting below.

What withdrawal means
The process from here
The applicant withdrew this application before the council decided it, so it carries no planning weight and no fee refund is automatic. Withdrawal often follows officer feedback that a refusal was likely.
The applicant is free to submit a revised application at any time, and many withdrawn schemes return in amended form, so the site is worth watching if the proposal affected you.
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.
