Planning application

8 Bro Madog Old Colwyn Colwyn Bay LL29 8RU

Awaiting decision Conwy 0/53642 TPO Application

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Involves a general re-shaping involving a crown reduction and thinning to a specification within BS3998 -2010 and as agreed by the tree surgeon and planning officer.. A reduction of 2 .5 m was mentioned but I would welcome intervention and advice so that the tree is shaped symmetrically and retains the character of its crown. Also to check and remove any areas of decay that would benefit surrounding properties in the event of high wind. In addition, the removal of a small (12cm diameter), low, partially decayed over hanging branch toward No.6 Rhodfa Sant Elian, which was damaged by high winds.

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with Conwy 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.
