Proposal
The proposed tree works include the recommendations at Section 5, Page 11, in the attached 'Millstone View Tree Risk Assessment' dated 18.02.2025. However, in the year since the Tree Risk Assessment was issued there has been a significant increase in the amount of dead wood and snapped limbs on a number of trees and as a result so the recommended works have been updated/amended. Attached 'Millstone View Sketch Plan' provides the location of the trees. The proposed tree works are as follows:- Group 2 - Oak - remove major deadwood over 50mm. Group 3 - Oak - remove major deadwood over 50mm. Group 4 - Oak - remove major deadwood over 50mm. T424 - Oak - crown clear. T425 - Oak - pollard. T426 - Oak - pollard. T427 - Oak - reduce by 1.5m, North and East side. T436 - Oak - fell to 2m. Group 5 - Mixed species (small group predominantly Oak) - remove major deadwood over 50mm. Group 6 - Mixed species (small group predominantly Oak) - remove major deadwood over 50mm. Group 7 - Oak & Rowan - remove major deadwood over 50mm. Group 8 - Oak - remove major deadwood over 50mm. Group 9 - Mixed (predominantly Oak) - remove major deadwood over 50mm. T428 - Oak - reduce weight on low North side branches. T429 - Oak - reduce weight on East and South side as part of pollard works. T1 - Dead trunk - fell below fence. T436 - Oak - fell to 2m.

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

FRON DEG, Pentre Road, Cilcain, Mold, CH7 5PD
2 x lime trees, described as T1 and T2 below, as discussed with assistant tree officer: T1 (the more north-easterly positioned tree) Height: circa 15m / Notes: Epicormic shoots around stem circumference to circa 3.5m height restrict visibility of the trees basal area and lower stem; epicormics also exacerbate the trees interception of sunlight, affecting light levels in the dwelling through south facing windows. Recommendations: Re-pollard to historic pruning points throughout crown. Remove laterally growing primary limbs attached to the main stem below 7m height (above ground level), see Image A for an indication of which limbs this would affect. Prune epicormic growth attached to the main stem below c.4m height. T2 (the more south-westerly positioned tree) Height: c.14.5m / Notes: As above, RE epicormic growth around stem circumference. Recommendations: Re-pollard to historic pruning points throughout crown Remove laterally growing limbs attached to the main stem and in the vicinity of the stems primary bifurcations, below 8m height. See Image B for an indication of which limbs this would affect. Prune epicormic growth attached to the main stem below c.4m height.
