Proposal
Tree species: Common Oak (Quercus robur) Description of proposed works: Fell to ground level, in accordance with BS 3998:2010, and establish an exclusion zone for the duration of works. Reasons for the work: The tree is an over-mature Common Oak in advanced, irreversible decline, with approximately 50% of the crown dead or absent, major deadwood, apical dieback, and fungal decay at both the roots and stem with associated buttress-root damage. A QTRA V5.4 (GB) assessment returns a Risk of Harm of approximately 1/500 ? Unacceptable ? governed by a basal/whole-tree (uprooting) failure mode. The extent of root and butt decay, combined with a low residual safety factor, means crown reduction or other retention works are not arboriculturally viable; felling is the only proportionate option. Full justification is set out in the accompanying assessment. Replanting proposals: One replacement tree to be planted within the rear garden ? a semi-mature feathered Quercus robur (standard, 10?12 cm girth), positioned clear of structures and underground services, planted in the next available bare-root season (November?March) and maintained in accordance with BS 8545:2014. TPO 10W.

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