Planning application
3 Woodvale Avenue Cyncoed Cardiff CF23 6SP
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
To fell T1 on the included survey table and leave the stump at 3m to retain some habitat value. Due to a basal cavity that extends from the south of the lower stem to the north, alongside an extensive colonisation of Pseudoinonotus dryadeus (Please see Photo T1 P1 in the included file). To potentially undertake a linear canopy reduction of the abutting T2 by 2/3m using natural target pruning compliant with BS3998 if left exposed post-removal.

The process from here
This application is with Cardiff 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.
