Split decision Dorset P/TRT/2026/02610 Tree Works- TPO

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

T1 Suppressed Oak - Fell in sections to as close to ground level as possible. No replant proposed in this area, very congested already & a replant will struggle to survive. Remove major deadwood & sever ivy. T2 Large Oak tree next to the suppressed Oak - Crown raise to approximately 5m over the drive to allow vehicle access. T3 Pine - Remove major deadwood & sever ivy. T4 Oak - Reduce height from approximately 17 metres to 15 metres and reduce spread from approximately 12 metres to approximately 10.5 metres cutting back to suitable growth points to form a smaller crown. Remove all major deadwood. T5 Oak - Crown raise over the garage to gain a 2-metre separation from the tree and the building, deadwood throughout.

The process from here

The council has decided this application; the published outcome sits in the record above and the decision notice on the council portal carries the detail, including any conditions.

If permission was granted, work must normally begin within three years of the decision. If it was refused, the applicant can appeal within the statutory time limit or submit a revised scheme.

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.
