Planning application

Horseshoe Cottage 28 Moreton Lane Bishopstone Buckinghamshire HP17 8SQ

Awaiting decision Buckinghamshire PL/25/2950/KA Works to trees in Conservation Area

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Tree in the images we want to cut down completely, we have been advised that the trunk is rotten and with it continuing to lean over it is a safety hazard as it might fall in high winds. Tree is bullace we believe. There is another tree in the background on the border with our neighbour that we would like to prune/cut back and tidy up. (crown reduction 3-4m)

As published by the council, reference PL/25/2950/KA

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with Buckinghamshire 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.
