Awaiting decision Huntingdonshire Works to Tree in Con Area

Proposal

T1 (Prunus) - Lift lower limbs to improve access and reduce back to match upper canopy. T2 (Box Elder Maple) - Reduce overhang from neighbours back to boundary (up to approx. 2m). Reduce overhanging growth on three lower branches encroaching towards church building by 2/3m back to suitable growth points to match upper canopy. T3/T4/T5/T6 (x4) (Lime Trees) - Re-pollard back to previous points and remove epicormic growth. T7 (Dead Standing Robinia) - Monolith to a safe height of approximately 8ft. Tree is in significant decline and now completely dead standing with potential risk to neighbouring property or church if failure occurs. T8 (Yew) - Lift one side of canopy to approximately 3.5m to provide clearance for building works being undertaken beneath (base already installed).

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with Huntingdonshire 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.
