Planning application

23 Badger Sett Blandford St Mary Dorset DT11 9QL

Split decision Dorset P/TRT/2023/01314 Tree Works- TPO

Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

Part of this application was approved and part refused. The decision notice on the council portal sets out which is which.

Proposal

Line of Beech x10 - Reduce crowns by 4-5m to leave a height of 7-8m as per annotated photograph. The lateral branches should be cut back beyond the boundary of 23 Badger Sett to achieve a minimum 1m clearance from the fence line. Reason: Curtailing the amenity value of home and garden, causing harm/damage to the property by way of damp, loss of light and overgrowth touching house, and overhanging veranda and gazebo area.

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.
