This application is with Herefordshire, County of for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.

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.

19 Bearcroft Weobley Hereford Herefordshire HR4 8TA
1 x Field Maple - proposed works to reduce crown by 50% (as seen annexed at report) to return tree to being structurally sound. The necessity for crown reduction arises from the trunk having forked/bifurcated many years ago with the result that the weight of the spread crown pulls the crown apart rendering the tree to be unsound. Crown reduction and subsequent maintenance will enable the tree to be reclassified as sound with the result that insurance can beobtained and there is no further risk to persons using the estate road/pavement nor to occupiers of the dwelling.
