1 Beranburh Field Wroughton Swindon SN4 0QL
Proposal
Works to Trees with TPOBOS 2005-14 - T56 & T57 Cherry treesT53 - T54. - T54 Silver Birch, growing in close proximity to the old driveway and double gate. In competition with T53 and the underlying hedge, this tree has become tall and asymmetric. The new owners would like to replace the old fence and double gate to allow access into the garden and reinstate the now unused driveway as it once was. They would also like to create a new hedge line in this area once the fence and gate has been replaced. Request permission to fell T53 to ground level to reduce encroachment on T53 and create more space for the reinstatement of the fence, gate, driveway and hedge. - T53 Silver Birch, low branching is encroaching over the old driveway and cars are not currently able to park there. Request permission to raise low canopy by removing lower branches up to a height of 4m to reduce encroachment.

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