Planning application
31 Inglewood Park Ventnor Isle Of Wight PO38 1UX
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Amendment received 21.03.2026: Tree Species: Cherry (Prunus spp.) 1. Removal of Rear Central Stem ( S4) closest to read boundary fencing) dismantling and removal of the rear central stem due to poor structural condition and suppression from the forward stems and surrounding trees. The stem is currently heavily shaded and showing signs of decline, making it structurally inferior within the overall crown structure. 2. Removal of Leaning Stem Over (S3) Neighbouring Property - Removal of the stem leaning significantly toward the neighbouring property. The lean and structural form present a potential risk of failure toward the neighbouring boundary, and removal is proposed to mitigate this risk. 3. Remaining Front Co dominant Stems (S1 & S2) Approximately 25% lateral reduction to reduce spread and bring the crowns back within a more manageable form. Approximately 10% crown thinning to reduce density, improve light penetration and airflow. Reason for Works: Remove structurally compromised stems, mitigate risk to neighbouring property. Improve long-term structural balance of the tree and reduce crown weight and wind loading, Maintain tree health and safe ongoing management

The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
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.
