Works: Trees
Part of this application was approved and part refused. The decision notice on the council portal sets out which is which.
Proposal
TPO/107/2/G T1- English Oak (rear garden) - Reduce lateral canopy by approximately 2m, and tops by approximately 3m to appropriate growth points, following BS3998 standards, utilising drop-crotch pruning methods to reduce stress and epicormic growth. Thin canopy by 30% to allow more light through the canopy, whilst still retaining some internal epicormic growth to help minimise stress and to follow appropriate tree pruning guidance. South West lowest branch to be reduced by approximately 3.5m to the woodpecker hole to help neaten the crown shape and reduce loading after a woodpecker hole. The aim of the reduction is to keep the tree managed before it becomes too big for its location and needs a more drastic reduction in the future.

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.
