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.

    Complete 30% reduction and crown thin on mature medium sized Sycamore tree in back garden. The tree benefits from many suitable growth points so a 30% reduction is appropriate to keep the tree a good size and natural shape. Reduce long 'leggy' branches on mature Beech tree in back garden. The tree has several long lateral and upward branches that will benefit from being reduced in to keep shape and prevent future failures.
