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.

    Works to Trees within Conservation Area. T1. Mature Himalayan birch. Height 4 metres, crown spread 2 metres. This tree was reduced and pruned 3 years ago, but has rapidly regrown, and is now too large for the space it occupies in the lawn. Fell to ground level and replace with a smaller and less vigorous ornamental tree. T2. Semi-mature Hawthorn tree on the verge outside the garden wall. Height 4 metres, crown spread 2 metres. This tree risks obscuring the adjacent street light, and is competing for light with the better quality cherry tree in the applicants garden. Poor quality specimen. Fell to ground level. T3. Ornamental cherry tree. Height 3 metres, crown spread 3 metres. This tree has been reduced and pruned in the past to keep it in good proportion to its surroundings and reduce overhang to the adjacent footpath. This work now needs to be repeated. Reduce canopy size back to previous pruning cuts, removing branch ends of around 50 cm in length, leaving pruning cuts of 30mm max.
