Planning application
25/01221/TCA
34 Chapel Road Weldon NN17 3HP
Proposal
T1. Ash tree on Corner of Patio. Lowest limb to be removed on west side of the tree. Limb becoming phototropic. Removing rather than reducing would be best due to limited growth points T2. Large Poplar limb over Patio area at the bottom of the garden. Very elongated limb and is situated above the main seating area and a nice specimen Walnut tree. Reduce the limb by 3-4m. To reduce the potentially of future failure. T3. Walnut situated on the bottom Patio area. Slowly outgrowing its location. Located under the Large Poplar limb. Canopy reduction of the tree and crown lift to keep the aesthetic look of the tree and create a usable space beneath. 2-3m reduction. T4. Willows on rear boundary. Previous pollards that have large amounts of regrowth that have failed recently. Concern is now other limbs will follow suit. All stream side Willows to be made safe and cut back to prevent future failure due to the nature of the lapsed pollard heads. Bringing height down to a uniform 5-8 meters. T5. Ash tree half way down the lawn on the right hand side with back to the house. A couple of Limbs need pruning back that are coming out over the lawn area. 1-2m reduction amount. Mainly to balance the crown. T6. Ash tree growing on the front right hand corner of the house as you at the front door. Tree is in contact with the roof and needs to be pruned back. 3-4m prune back from roofline required.

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with North Northamptonshire 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.

We respectfully request permission to pollard two False Acacia Trees, reducing their crowns by approximately 50%. The proposed works are necessary due to the trees' close proximity to the adjacent building and roadway. The property owner has concerns regarding the potential risk posed by these trees, particularly following the failure of a third False acacia tree on the property in January. Fortunately, when that tree failed, it narrowly missed the building and no injuries or significant damage occurred. The two trees proposed for works are highlighted in red on the attached site map for ease of identification and photographic evidence for the recent tree that failed.
