Planning application

Bay Tree House High Street Newnham Gloucestershire GL14 1BS

Awaiting decision Forest of Dean P1053/26/TCA Trees

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Remove small Bay tree located in the front of the property. The tree is no more than 30 cm away from the front of the house and is putting up suckers through the wall at the front of the house and into the side wall of the property. Replace with a Bay tree within a large pot.

    Awaiting decision

    Decision expected by 2 November 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

    Forest of Dean took a median of 57 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with Forest of Dean 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.
