Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.

Proposal

T1 & T4 Apple - Carry out initial prune of up to 25% of canopy to improve appearance & health. A further renovating prune will be carried out about 12-18 months after initial works, to complete canopy thinning and improvement in appearance & health. The aggregate canopy reduction across the initial and renovating prune will not exceed a third. T2 Pear - Carry out initial prune of up to 25% of canopy to improve appearance & health. Tree is likely to require minimal thinning after removal of elder (see tree survey photographs document) but reduction of asymmetric over-extended branch towards the shed (falls within the 25%). A further renovating prune will be carried out about 12-18 months after initial works, to complete canopy thinning and improvement in appearance & health. The aggregate canopy reduction across the initial and renovating prune will not exceed a third.

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.

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.
