Proposal
T1 - chanticleer pear - Fell. Severe decay to base of main remaining stem, causing base of the stem to split. This tree is overhanging telephone lines and near overhead power lines. T2 - St Lucie cherry - Fell. Decay through the main stem and at the base. This has also previously had weight removed to prolong its life but is over a well-used footpath in the garden. T3 - silver birch - Fell. Reaching over-mature status. Had one in the group removed this year (25/02857/TREE) and one totally failed the previous winter. T3 is showing signs of dieback in the canopy and decay in the main stem, with bark detached from the stem and bore holes present. T4 - holm oak - Crown lift to 2 metres above ground level over the lawn, to match the grazing level in the deer park. T5 - sycamore - Remove dead limb. Reduce 3 over-extended lower limbs above driveway by 3 metres. T6 - weeping beech - Fell. Standing dead. T7 - Indian bean tree - Fell. This tree is mature and has been in steady decline for 7 years. Because of the brittle wood and diminshed canopy, I think it is pragmatic to remove this tree before it fails entirely. I do not expect it to still be alive in 2 years' time. T8 - paperbark maple - Fell. Standing dead. T9 - northern white cedar - Fell. Severe decline, approximately 5-10% of canopy still alive. T10 - kanzan cherry - Fell. Over-mature and suffering from wounds during telephone line clearancing over 11 years ago. Has little ornamental value and approximately 60% of the canopy is dead. T11 - ash - Not within conservation area, but would like to make note of its removal due to Ash Dieback and Ganoderma. G1 - holm oaks - Prune to match T11 on application ref. 25/02857/TREE. Southern aspect of crown beginning to encroach on stone pillars and footpath. Crown lift over footpath to give 2.5 metres clearance and prune to give 1 metre clearance. G2 - mixed conifers - Fell. One is dead and they offer little ornamental value. Replace with ornamental shrubs.

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Stratford-on-Avon 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.
