Planning application

7 Sherrardmead Shaw Newbury RG14 2DF

Awaiting decision West Berkshire 25/01986/TPC Tree Works in Conservation Area

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

G1 - 2x Poplar, 1x Sycamore (located on river bank) - fell to as near ground level as possible. This is due to all 3 trees to be located on a river bank with a slight lean towards neighbouring properties. G2 - 15-20x Willows (located on river bank) - Pollard all trees to approximately 2-2.5m from ground level. This is due to them no encroaching on neighbouring properties.

As published by the council, reference 25/01986/TPC

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with West Berkshire 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.
