Planning application
3 Stables Court Marlow Buckinghamshire SL7 2JD
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T1 Oak - Reduce the tree by 2-2.5m from branch tips to bring the tree back into scale, mitigate against limb loss and improve light ingress. This will leave a canopy spread of approximately 17-18m. Also remove trunk epicormic up to crown break. T2 Oak - reduced 3 over-extended limbs by 1.5 - 2m to mitigate the tip loading and the risk of failure either at the branch union or on the stems where the woodpecker holes are and reduce the side away from the house by 2-2.5m to balance the crown and mitigate against further branch loss onto the footpath. To leave a canopy spread of approximately 10-12m. T3 Beech- Reduce sections closest to the house to give approximately 2.5m clearance from the roof to mitigate against abrasion and squirrel ingress and egress. The actual spread of the canopy will be unaltered because the nature of the pruning. No pruning cuts to be larger than 75mm in diameter.

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.
