Planning application
26/0646/TTPO
13 Church Close Whittlesford Cambridgeshire CB22 4NY
Proposal
T1 - Beech tree showing severe signs of decline both in the canopy and around the lower trunk. Remove all the deadwood and reduce the rest of the tree by 2.5-3.5 meters. The reason for this is to reshape the tree as it is currently out of shape and once the deadwood is removed there will be large gaps within the canopy.
As published by the council, reference 26/0646/TTPO

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with South Cambridgeshire 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.
