Planning application

41 Roman Way Lechlade Gloucestershire GL7 3BS
Proposal
Tree species: Field Maple Mature Field Maple. Proposed works: - Reduce canopy volume 40% - Cuts approximately 1.5-1.75m from branch tips Reasons for work: The tree's canopy is physically contacting the house, posing a risk of damage to brickwork, guttering, roof tiles, and external fixtures. - The proximity of large limbs increases the risk of impact damage during storms or high winds. - Seasonal leaf-fall is likely to block gutters and downpipes, increasing damp and drainage risks. - A significant reduction is required to ensure long-term safety, maintain adequate clearance from property, and prevent structural or cosmetic damage.

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Cotswold 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.
