Awaiting decision Teignbridge 26/01350/TPO Tree Preservation Order

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

T003 - Turkey Oak (Quercus cerris) Crown reduce by approximately 6m, reducing the overall height from approximately 31m to approximately 25m. Reduce the lateral crown proportionately to maintain a balanced natural form, retaining suitable growth points. T001 - Turkey Oak (Quercus cerris) - Fell to ground level due to extensive basal decay and hollowing, bark necrosis, major deadwood, significant canopy decline and poor physiological and structural condition. T002 - Turkey Oak (Quercus cerris) Reduce the tree from approximately 32m to a final height of approximately 12m. Retain the reduced stem and principal structure as a habitat feature, using veteranisation cuts where appropriate

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with Teignbridge 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.
