Planning application
Templewood 68 Long Park Chesham Bois Buckinghamshire HP6 5LF
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Conifer - reduce where it extends over driveway back to growth points as close to edge of drive as possible, up the full height of the tree. On some branches where there are no suitable growth points, we may have to reduce to the main stem, but this will be minimised as much as possible. The longer branches will be reduced by 1.5 to 2 metres subject to there being a suitable live pruning point (as its a conifer), or less if not. This reduction distance will reduce as we work up the height of the canopy as the branches reduce in length, until the reduction blends out into the top of the tree - no height will be removed from the tree. The purpose of the work is to reduce the lateral canopy overhang over the drive, and maintain the canopy so it does not continue to encroach further over the driveway as it is currently.

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 this record
Reading the register
This page mirrors an entry on the statutory planning register that Buckinghamshire is required to keep. The published feed for this record does not state which type of application it is, which is common for older entries and for some council systems; the register entry on the council portal will say, alongside the case officer and any consultation dates.
Every planning application follows the same broad path: submission, validation, publicity, then a decision by officers or committee. Our guide to planning application types explains the common types and what each can approve.
