Planning application
S26/1254
Yew Tree Cottage Main Road Dunsby Lincolnshire PE10 0UB
Proposal
Two yew trees next to the pavement in front of Yew Tree Cottage have not been pruned for many years. In wet weather their branches hang low over the pavement. Branches in the crown are touching telephone lines. I wish to undertake a crown reduction such that the operation need not be repeated for 5 years. Tree A has an estimated height of 12 metres and a crown diameter of 9 metres. We wish to reduce this to a height of 9 metres and a crown diameter of 7 metres. Tree B also has an estimated height of 12 metres and a crown diameter of 13 metres. We wish to reduce this to a height of 10 metres and a crown diameter of 10 metres.

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