Planning application
112 Hamilton Road Reading RG1 5RE
Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
I intend to remove the apricot tree which is growing on the northern boundary of my property with Crescent Road. Please see attached plan. The tree was originally grown as a fan on the south-facing side of theboundary wall, but has proved to be too vigorous. It has now reached aheight of approximately 5 metres, and significantly overhangs CrescentRoad where fruit is completely inaccessible and it sometimes obstructstaller vehicles. The large trunk is in direct contact with the tall brick wall, and I am concerned that if no action is taken the wall maybe damaged or become dangerous. A replacement apricot tree on a dwarfing stock will be positioned three metres to the west.

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.
