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.

TPO/114/2/I T1 Silver Birch- Tree has previously been reduced and new growth has become approximately 2 metres in length. I would like to apply to prune the tree back to its previously points to maintain the tree's size and also preserve the Tree's health for the future and limb over extension and potential failure. Due to the fast growing nature of Silver Birches I would like to apply for it to be a recurring application to be allowed to prune the tree by 1-2 metres back to the previous pruning points every 2 years.
