Planning application
7 Wigmore Close Gloucester GL4 5FF
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
It's an indian bean tree located the front of the house. It is a very big tree and is causing damage to the driveway and the lamp post located near is possibly being effected by the roots and it isn't straight and is wobbly. It also overhangs next doors driveway. I would like to apply to get the tree taken down for safety reasons and damage to driveway also potential damage by roots to the house in the future.

Decision
Awaiting decision
Decision expected by 13 October 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.
Gloucester took a median of 56 days over the applications it decided in the last year.
What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Gloucester 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.

The proposed works are intended to: ? Maintain the trees at an appropriate size for a residential garden. ? Improve light penetration to the garden. ? Reduce future management requirements. ? Retain the trees as attractive landscape features. ? Promote their long-term health through sympathetic maintenance and pruning.

For completeness and to avoid any uncertainty regarding tree protection status, the Elder trees have also been included within this submission.
