Planning application

26/00668/ENQT5D

Street Record Church Lane Bottesford

Status unknown Melton 5 Day Notice

Proposal

The Leicestershire County Council (Forestry Dept) have instructed us to carry out some urgent work to a large Willow on Church Walk, Bottesford. I believe the tree falls within the conservation area but is not covered by a TPO. The Willow lost a large limb earlier in the year (sometime in March) and has now dropped another large limb which has left us all a little worried. We are planning to pollard the Willow to approx. 10m to remove the risk of any further limb failure. Could you please let me know if you are happy for us to carry out this work without putting in a formal application. This would be on the basis that it is classed as dangerous and would be exempt from the regs. I havent got any pictures to hand but I could get some if needed and send them over.

As published by the council, reference 26/00668/ENQT5D

The process from here

The published feed does not show a live status for this application, which usually means the council register holds more recent detail than the copy PlanIndex receives.

The council portal linked on this page carries the authoritative version, including the documents, any consultation deadline and the decision once made. PlanIndex refreshes its copy of the register on a daily cycle.

About this record

Reading the register

This page mirrors an entry on the statutory planning register that Melton is required to keep. The published feed for this record does not state which type of application it is, which is common for older entries and for some council systems; the register entry on the council portal will say, alongside the case officer and any consultation dates.

Every planning application follows the same broad path: submission, validation, publicity, then a decision by officers or committee. Our guide to planning application types explains the common types and what each can approve.
